I have not found any exercises I can do except take walks. I can't do the therabands, treadmill, bike, weights, you name it. I joined Curves at one time to try and lose some weight and my Dr. came in and walked around looking at the machines and said no to any of them. He was right, I couldn't do them.

I do take walks every day the weather permits. I even bought an exercise ball and I can't use it. I thought I could but my back got worse trying to use it.

In PT I can handle the massage therapy and the stretching they did to help loosen me up but boy nothing else.

I find it so frustrating to want to be able to do things and can't. You know your body and you know what works for you and what doesn't.

If you have a PTist that won't listen to you when you say you can't do something then that's the time to quit. I just quit my last one because she wanted me to do weights and I sure can't do them.

It's very hard to know what works for people with RSD. Everyone seems to have a different thing that helps and not one thing works for all.
