Hey.

With the contrast waters, I am currently in intense pt/ot 35 hours a week to hopefully reverse the RSD cycle. They do the contrast soaking tubs. They say that the more temp differences, the better. On my first day of intense pt/ot, they decided to do it with COLD water with ICE in it and a second tub of water that felt really hot. I personally feel that it isn't working for me and that it gets worse everytime I do it. I screamed harder the second time of doing the ice water than I did the first time. Of course, I have just completed my 3rd day of the intense therapy and they skipped doing the contrast soaking today ( ) so it might not actually start helping until after a week or so. I'll let yall know if it has helped or not by then. By the way, if any of you guys want to private message me, I can give you some of the RSD exercizes that I am doing and they might help some. I am now able to walk after about 8 months. It isn't very good (still limping from original injury) and I can't walk or stand very long but I can walk I have exercizes for both upper and lower extremities.
