However awful it is, you have to try and find the resolve to keep going. Physiotherapy is never going to be easy with CRPS plus any underlying physical problems that you've acquired over the years. However, you can't give up at the first hurdle. You've managed to keep going through very tough times already so its a case of digging deep, using the determination that you already have and battling on.

At least you need to give it a decent shot - it can take a few sessions to work out what pace things need to move at and what things will work best. It also takes a few sessions for you and the PT to get to know one another so it's worth hanging in for some time yet. There are times when you feel like you are making no progress, sometimes you have to go backwards in order to move forwards again. It's agony, its unpleasant and its miserable but its worth giving it a serious shot. If it was nice it would be a waste of time! You have a lot that you could gain. Even quite small physical gains could make a big, big difference to your quality of life.

Please don't give up, find it within yourself to keep going. There must be things or people who motivate you so perhaps think of that when you feel like giving up. It's always going to be a slow and painful process so try to accept that and don't get too frustrated because that will only make it worse. Hang in there and give it all you've got.
