Default Anyone help me?

Is there anything that can be done for the instability of the feet and ankles? I'm in a wheelchair right now due to the pain and falls due to instability. I know surgery is a no no, but I've tried orthotics, walking boots, physical therapy, and turned my scs up higher. Yesterday I was pushed by a new neuro to check balance and that of course made things worse. I know RSD limbs aren't supposed to be immobilized, but nothing is working. Has anyone tried a cast? Did it help? I'm at my wits end. I would rather be immobilized for a bit than be in the wheelchair forever. I took a spill about six weeks ago that seemed to be the catalyst to these problems. My neuro seems to think it's a problem with the ankles or flares due to absence of pulses and reflexes. However, he by his own admission, knows nothing about RSD. My pain mgmt is the only dr who treats me for that. Sorry if this long and I hope it makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.
