Hi Andrea

I'm Rosie - I'm 21 and have RSD from a fall 5 years ago. It sounds like she has been lucky and that her PM dr is good. If the TEC has worked then I think she can have one placed for longer to allow her to do more rehab with her foot and leg. My pain management dr told me that with RSD he feels the best thing is to have a mix of drugs - one tricyclic antidepressant (eg amytriptylene/ nortryptilene (sorry I'm from the UK and don't know the US drugs), one narcotic pain killer (anything with codeine), one anti epileptic (eg lyrica) and one anti inflammatory (eg ibuprofen). How is your daughter doing in school? Is she still going in? Has she had any hydrotherapy at all? that is sometimes useful. Is she continuing with physio? I have a very severe form of RSD so mine is very active but there are many people on this forum who are from the US and who have gone into remission from their treatments and they will probaly come on line to tell you more.

Good luck and I hope your daughter goes into remission soon

love

Frogga xxxxx
