Welcome.

I don't believe in agressive PT for RSD. My arms and legs are messed up and there is no way I would lift weights, do therabands, do treadmills and bikes when I first started out with RSD. I still won't today on most. I volenteer out at the Vet's home and when we exercise, I hand out the therabands but I don't do them nor the weights. I always laugh about the vets doing better then me with all of that stuff.

I spent 4 years in PT and my PCP got rid of 3 therapist that he felt was making me do things I shouldn't. I love my husband and wife team I have. They studied in Holland and don't believe in pushing a patient like most PTist.

I had one therapist that said I could get worse before I got better. My PCP callled her up and said no way. He told her I could get worse and not get better.

Some do believe in the agressive PT, as I said I don't. You can keep mobility and keep going without running marathons.

I hope she gets diagnosed soon. Keep looking for that right Dr., he's out there.
