If you are so new to the disease, from what I've read, you have a decent chance at remission. Doing aquatic PT was the only way I could handle PT without flaring up my RSD. At home I tried doing stretching but it would bring me to tears, so my doc said better to stop. Have you tried any of the injections, epidural, ganglion blocks, etc? Also some people have shown good results during the early stages with accupuncture, as long as they know what they are doing.
I hope you are able to find some relief soon.
