RSD PUZZLE # 64
CAN I STILL REMAIN ACTIVE WITH MY RSD?

Mary Ann:

Due to the fact that you have RSD, it would be extremely harmful for you to stay inactive, to
use braces, cane or crutches.

Realizing that you are in constant pain, your pain will be ten times worse if you are in active and if you give in to your pain. It would be suicidal for you to stay home, not to go out and not to be active.

If nothing else, even if it is a hot summer day, you should go to a mall and try to walk and sit down as frequently as possible.

Recent research by Dr. Koltzenberg has shown that being inactive stimulates the pain fibers in the deep structures of bones and muscles and as a result causes sever pain which in turn causes the patient to be inactive. This vicious circle is quite damaging to the patients. If you rest you'll have pain, if you walk you will have pain but if you rest all the time you will have a lot more pain.
