Thanks...i will definitely post an update of how things go once I am allowed to go back. I am an assistant store manager at a retail store so for me the big obstacle (other than getting some of my symptoms under control so I could drive again) is my endurance. After spending most of last year stuck in a wheelchair not able to stand or walk at all, it has been a long road to build up any sort of endurance...but I am finally there. I still will require the accomodations of being able to use my walker and to be able to wear gym shoes/gloves/scarf as needed...neither of which should be difficult to accomodate. But with those two things I should be able to do my job. I've worked so hard for this and I know going back won't be easy but I am just not cut out for this sedentary lifestyle that has been forced on me by the RSD. Can you say stir crazy?

I am also hoping that once I go back and am in a situation where I am "forced" so to speak to move around that this will improve my health over all. I know from when I was working back when I got the ankle RSD under control that I felt a lot better mentally and that work actually helped me to take my mind off the pain. The pain was always there of course but being focused on the many many things that you have to juggle on a daily basis at work sort of pushes thoughts of the pain to the back of my mind. At least...I HOPE that's how it works this time too.
