What do you do when you get in the pool?

Well I only tried pool therapy once at Cleveland Clinic at the very start of this condition. I was in a pain program there but my pain was too high so I could not finish. I am thinking of trying it again pool therapy but for way less time and much slower. Make sure the water is pool therapy temp too. If I were to go back I would do pool walking at first so not actually swimming.
I am sorry you are fearful of the pool but like you said small steps. Is there someone that can go with you? For me I would only do a therapy one like I said because of water temp and also other people I fear getting knocked or the waves they make. I think in any new movement or pt type thing for rsd starting slow and working to more is better.
