Here is where we are at. On Monday morning she walked in PT. Never to happen again though The elbow was better and is a non issue now. The other improvement is that the sensitivity is gone. She can wear shoes and socks now. We tried to take away teh crutches, but on Tuesday at school a boy stepped on her foot and after that, she refuses to give them up now. ARGGGGG.

What has happened this week is that she has a lot of girl drama at school (non RSD related). I have noticed that when she is stressed out, that her pain gets a lot worse. the other night she misbehaved very badly (also non foot related) and we had to punish her. She went off to her room to cry, and shortly afterwards, she called me up and was hysterical now about her foot hurting like a 10. The light bulb went off and even though she was punished from TV and computer, I allowed her to watch her favorite movie for 15 minutes. I needed to distract her and calm her down. I know that when you are upset the "volume" gets turned up.

yesterday, we saw a therapist and she started to work on relaxation techniques. Today we also are changing PT's to the ones that specialize in children, as my Pain Dr has trained them and wanted me to do so.

I am hoping that the thanksgiving break will give her a chance to not be stressed out. that we can go to the pool a lot. I think that will get her walking again.

Thanks for listening again.
