My 13 year old son was recently diagnosed with CRPS after multiple ankle fractures and surgery last September. It's mild and in the early stages, although I know it has the potential to progress. He just started pool therapy three times a week because he can't tolerate the pain of land therapy. He's had two sessions and is doing well with it.
My question is, is it okay to just focus on pool therapy until he makes progress and can tolerate land therapy better? Or do we need to be more aggressive and push him through land therapy as well? We are going to be taking him to a local YMCA that has a therapeutic pool to give him lots of extra pool exercise time, in addition to the regularly scheduled physical therapy. Thanks for any advice and input. |

Hello swimtime,
Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups! I'm so sorry to hear about your son. That's so young to be dealing with such a painful condition. There is an RSD/CRPS Forum At the top of the forum there are "Sticky" threads and they include information, useful websites, introduction thread and other resources. I'm sure the members there will be able to help you with lots of support and information. |

Welcome, swimtime. May your son be better soon.
Since you seem concerned about your son's treatment, perhaps a second opinion is in order?
