I asked the PT guy about it and he said well, it's not good. I asked if I will be able to move it again, and he said let's hope. Now what does this mean?

Have any of you lost the ability to move a toe, finger, body part and then have it return?

I have had it for 9 months.
Hi Star, its awful I know. I lost the use of my left thumb for over a year. the brachial plexus is one of the first places my rsd spread from my legs. it was dx there a year later. about a year after that I lost use of my thumb. it did come back but it took a long time and a great deal of pain. Hot soaks in Epsom salt , hot therapy pools did the most to help and not using my arm unless it was in water. hope this helps you . good luck CZ
