Hi Ysheridan93 and Jacquelina,

Thank you so much for your thoughts - I really appreciate your input. Jesse has had an upper and lower endoscopy which ruled out chrones and any other stomach problem. He has continual pain with periods of burning and sharp, stabbing pains that are 9's. Overall his pain is 6 at all times, except of course for when he is sleeping - no pain at all.

Ysheridan - did you do the intense physical therapy treatment? jesse is on a waiting list at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia - it might be another 6 or 7 weeks before they can take him. As far as food, nothing seems to make him feel any better or worse - I have to say he really loves hotdogs! The problem is he is nauseous as well. When did your RSD start. They have diagnosed Jesse with RND - reflex neurovascular dystrophy.

Thanks again for caring. I wish you both pain free days - I'm here if you ever need to speak!
