Thank you for the pdf list and links!. My retired Dr. is actually still on that list - so sad. She was wonderful. I will certainly call a few of the others. I haven't been able to get to the doctor for ketamine cream and my upper body skin is so sensitive I can't even stand the thought of a pool because of the bathing suit or even a wet tshirt on my skin. But I did love using the pool for my lower body RSD. Hopefully if this ever calms down I can go back to using the pool at the gym. So appreciative for the help, off to do some more Dr research and feeling the love! |

It wasn't long-within two weeks or so. I could drag myself upstairs and I had more energy. Pool therapy combined with the LDN helped. Also I kept using my seated elliptical and pushing my feet on the WonderCore.
I think we have to try various approaches based on our individual situations. I am convinced that getting the swelling down with the Bowen Technique helped increase the circulation in my right leg. I gave up using any kind of pressure, because I thought it could potentially be damaging the delicate lymph vessels ; preventing them from doing their jobs. ( The PT I saw did not understand that my leg turning red was a bad thing, she thought it indicated increased circulation-I gave up telling her it was a sign of blood pooling. With CRPS you have to be hyper aware of your peculiar signs and needs-I pretty much figured out I was on my own) |
