Many thanks for all your replies
I will pass on the information to my Physiotherapist if thats OK
My Children's Hospital is quite a small unit who have dealt with about 20 young people with RSD in the past 4 years
I think a lot of the reasons why they don't believe that I have lost my balance are that they simply haven't seen anyone with the same problem before !!!!
If I was an adult the actual number of people the Consultant treats would be greater (wider age range etc etc etc) and I'm sure that they would have come accross something similar
Unfortunately until I am 16 I have to stay under the treatment of the Children's Hospital so any evidence that I can give that a certain problem is "normal" in RSD will help get them to take me seriously and stop them trying to force me to use equipment I do not have confidence in or which still leaves me liable to a fall if I use it unaided
Thanks for everything again
