Helly MeShelly and Welcome to NeuroTalk !

So sorry to hear that you suffer from RSD/CRPS. I have RSD in my left leg, both arms and my back. I developed it when I was 12 years old and am now 15. Its really frustrating having to deal with all of this and have tried many medications but none have worked really well. My Doctors now wanting to try the intracathedral baclofen pump.

I'm glad you're having PT. It's important you move as much as possible with this illness but don't do too much either - it's all about finding the right balance. I know PT isn't easy and is extremely painful but it is worthwhile. I've had it since being diagnosed.

Are you seeing a Pain Management Doctor? If not i'd highly recommend you see one. They are the best at treating RSD, as well as Neurologists.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask - i'm happy to help if I can and am sure others will be too!

Pain free hugs,
Alison.
