I think that you, as with me, it really helped a lot at first. Look at all you accomplished! But, then, like me, it stopped helping. I try to tell people to remember that you know your body, your limits, better than anyone else. Don't be afraid to say NO to a doc or pt person. They don't know everything and it sounds, to me, as if they do what most other docs do. They treat everyone with RSD the same. It's impossible to do because though we all have the same thing, we all experience things differently. Just because "most" young people with rsd may respond to aggressive treatment well doesn't mean that "all" will. It's the same for adults too. What's good for one is not good for another, be that pt,meds,blocks,whatever.

Try not to put too much pressure on yourself, that goes for your mum as well. You both know what's best and will do the absolute best for you when it's all said and done. Remember, just say no!! (If you want to that is) LOLOLOL

Big Hugs,
