Hi I tried mirror therapy, by moving only my good hand. Initially I tried the excercise for 15 minutes a day, but my pain in bad still went up. Then I tried reducing it to just one minute a day and the pain still went up in my bad hand.
This doesn't make sense that even though I'm not moving my bad hand at all, just looking in the mirror the reflection of my good hand, is making by pain go up. That means my brain pathways for pain are really messed up.
Has anyone experiecced the increased pain with mirror therapy? Does the pain go away or lessen after continued mirror therapy use?
