Hey Heather.

I was 14 when dx with rsd so I know how your daughter feels (almost 16 now). Mine initally started in my right foot then spread up and over to nearly full body. I cant really help much with saying yes, its spreading or no, its not but do try to get help asap. And yes, have her work on range of motion. She might hate them but it should help keep her shoulder moving. But make sure to have her want to do the moving, dont tell her to. It might seem like a little thing, but it really makes a big difference.

If your daughter needs anyone to talk to, I'm here.

Good luck to both of you.

Nikki
