Some days she can stretch me, some days I can use the bands, I can't seem to at all do any machines. I've done Towel crunches, I tried to even pick up little cough drops and move them around which I couldn't get past the 2nd one. The stim she had to stop using because it was flaring my RSD.

Please help
It sounds like you would be better served to invest some time in finding a more knowledgeable PT. It is very scary that a PT would ask a patient to find PT exercises from a forum. What works for one patient with CRPS may flare another. Do yourself a favor and don't waste time trying to educate a physical therapist. Find one who is already there.

Time is of the essence, you have none to waste.
