Yesterday and today bad pain days. Today he complained of being bitterly cold and had me put 4 blankets on him.

Went to his family doctor today and after seeing him and going through everything, told us he has RSD though he will wait for the pediatric pediatrician to "diagnose" him. Seems like doctors now a days refuse to diagnose due to lawsuits. ughhhh......

He told us to get him to physical therapy, to a psychologist,wean him off the pain medicine and get him back to school. Much easier said than done - but we are going to do our best.

He asked me at dinner if this means the pain might last past Christmas. I told him I honestly don't know. Did not have the heart to tell him about this disease - specially to an 11 yr old.
