You have not had an adequate pt trial btw. You may need to go to a different therapist. They tried desensitization techniques, which they should work up to in a situation like yours.

If you have not tried swimming in warm water, I would absolutely start there. (Calm warm ocean water is even better.) It works well for many of us. A few dislike it but it's a good place to start.

Always get second /third (independent) opinions too, don't only go with what this same? original surgeon says..
Even if you have to send your medical files to a RSD expert - by mail or even scan & email them asking for opinions??



I don't know if this forum has a compiled listing of good RSD/CRPS doctors and PTs too??

If not that would be a good thread for members to build , we could eventually add it to the sticky threads..

http://www.rsds.org/resources.html Is probably a good place to start for referrals and info.

Dr. Schwartzman was the "big gun" for many years, but is retiring or has retired at this point--the OP could likely get a referral from his office still. Or perhaps Dr. Getson?

The Northeast seems to have the best docs.
