I'm always battling with this issue. I work hard to keep moving my foot but the protective nature of RSD is getting the better of me lately. I often exercise everything else but my foot the one area I need to focus on. I've gone back to PT and they are helping me with this again.

I always have an immediate release of my atrophy following my lidocaine infusions. I seemed to hop off the stretcher and feel like I could go dancing on my toes. I don't because I know I could flare myself up prematurely, but lately the lidocaine has not been doing it's usual magic. My PM doc gave me a lumbar sympathetic block and the relief lasted for 10 glorious days. It's worn off now so I'm right back to the hard work trying to work through the pain of of managing the atrophy and the other neuropathic pain symptoms.

What treatments are you getting stardustkid?
