Hey mike,

Dont think pt will really be an option, at least for the first 6 weeks until the brace comes off and can start to slowly bare weight. Might get a home ultrasound to help the tendon heal asap.

I am realising that there is a big link between my tendon and crps. If i stress my tendon throughout the day then the crps will get angry at night. The more i take care of my tendon the less the crps bothers me. I know imobilizing for 6 weeks is not good for the crps but if im helping the tendon then my crps should remain quite. I have two important questions to ask the doctor but i would like to hear your opinion on them.

1. Once my tendon is the underlying problem, does it mean i have to fully heal it in order to heal my crps.

2. Could my crps automatically go once the tendon is FULLY healed?

3. Could i aggravate/progress my crps by goining in a brace to keep my knee 90 degrees for <6> weeks?

Thanks,

Nigel
