Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hey everyone. I'm so excited. I saw my physical therapist Monday and my leg is slowly getting stronger. My PT tested the strength in my RSD leg and I had almost made it to the goal he had set. It has taken several years to get there and I still can't walk without crutches, but at least things seem to be improving. My therapist doesn't know if I'll ever get off crutches, but seeing improvements gives us hope. I'm now on 6 month appointments with my pain management doctor and orthopedic and my physical therapist only sees me every three to four months now. I have all the equipment at home that I use at therapy, so he doesn't see a reason for me to drive two hours to see him. As long as I don't show signs of muscle loss, I don't have to go see him as often. I probably pass 8-10 physical therapy places on my way to see my PT but I've flunked out of all of them. I don't know if anyone else has had this experience, but I've seen over a dozen physical therapist and this is the first one who hasn't given up on me. The other physical therapists gave up because progress was so slow because of the RSD. I've been seeing this PT two hours from home for 6-8 years. He seems more like family now than a physical therapist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
