That is so good to hear! Sweating takes work! kudos on the new exercise. The more normal sensory input our nerves can get to interpret the better. It helps reset the whole paradigm. I started a ballet/Pilates/cardio kind of thing this week. I was afraid my foot would blow up after doing it but it didn't. It feels like it is increasing flexibility in the ankle. We gotta keep trying new things! No way I could've done that 6 months ago.

That's great!!! I have been dancing too. I have done pole dance since before my crps and it has been great in that it is a medium where anything I don't want to put on my leg I can shift to my arms and core. Dunno where I'd be without it!

Today I walked all day without crutches. It was painful, not pretty at all and my left foot thumped along, but it was improvement.

BB, That is great! Give those armpits a break. Don't overdo it though. You can always use a cane for a while. I found this really helped me a lot when I held it on the "good" side to take the pressure off when all my weight was on the injured side. You can also use just one crutch at the end of the day if your foot really needs a break. You'll get there! Baby steps!

Awesome!! Having not been able to drive in 11 months I understand what a huge accomplishment it is!
