Ans: good Physiotherapy will be able to pick up your problem and fix it.This could be the way how you are compensating while walking or how you take the weight on the left.

Ans: Hello Anonymous,
Pain management clinic is a good option. Is she also taking physiotherapy?
Also some form of mindfulness techniques and pranayamas can help her so you can take the guidance of a good yoga teacher who can also guide her towards some nutrition tips to help towards RSD.
All the best!

Ans: Yes, please consult a good Physio

Ans: I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's condition. It's positive that her fracture has healed, but it's concerning that she's experiencing ongoing pain and difficulties with walking. It's good that she's undergoing treatment and therapy to manage her symptoms.

To further reduce her pain and improve her ability to walk normally, it might be beneficial for her to explore additional physiotherapy options such as ultrasound or laser therapy. These modalities are commonly used by physiotherapists to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue healing. Additionally, continuing with nerve stimulation exercises, medication as prescribed, and using assistive devices like a walking stick can aid in managing her symptoms and gradually improving her mobility. Regular follow-ups with Physiotherapist will also ensure that her progress is monitored and adjustments to her treatment plan can be made as necessary.
