Hi Jo,
I am so sorry about everything that you are going through, but I am glad that the pool therapy is helping you a bit. I have tried Aquatherapy but it didn't work, I couldn't stand the touch of the water on my leg.
It sounds like you have had such a tough time with the RSD. My PM doctor thoght that I had a blood clot or compartment syndrome when my leg swelt up overnight, thankfully it was just muscle swelling.
My leg is hypersensitive like yours, I can't wear shoes, socks, etc. I am unable to go to school due to mobility and pain issues. I miss my friends and teachers a LOT, my friends do come and see me every so often but it's not the same as seeing them every day at school.
I too suffer from depression, I guess it is because of the amount of pain I am in and the fact that I can't do things that a "normal" 12 year old girl would do.
If you need anything please let me know, I will be more than happy to help you
Alison
