Hello
I am sorry you werent so succesful this time at that program. i saw this message and wanted only to tell you this. i had dystonia of the foot, it was locked. rigid. would not move even a little. tried physical therapy. lots of exercises. manipulations. nothing working for me. then foot was casted as a last resort even though imobilising bad for rsd it was decided that the potential benefits would outweigh the risks and after i wore a cast just at night for while. and lots of physical therapy for the foot afterwards too. like the person above it was the best thing that ever happened to me. now foot is straight. i am so happy, this has made such a diference. i wanted to share with you this. i hope you do decide to go ahead with it and that it is a sucess like it was for me.

Thank you all so much for replying to my post - I really appreciate it. I'm sorry that I haven't been around much lately, I have just had so much going on and haven't been feeling too good but I hope to post more soon!!

Miss Irie - Thank you for replying - I can't tell you how happy I am that the casting and Physio helped you - you have brung me some hope that the Dystonia in my foot can get better. I am hoping to try and see my PM Doctor on Thursday to see what his opinion on the cast is. Thank you for replying and sharing your experience with me - I truly appreciate it and thank you for giving me hope. Love, Alison
