Default Not sure where to start....how can I help my sister?

My sister fell off a ladder on 09/07/09 and broke her shoulder and arm. She saw an orthopedic surgeon and he said she was healing quickly and that he wanted her to start physical therapy. She started therapy but instead of getting better, the pain got worse and worse. She kept telling him that something else was wrong because her hand started swelling and changing color and now she has difficulty using her right hand. She is in constant, severe pain - can't sleep or eat. Her primary care physician thinks she has RSD and she will get her test results tomorrow. She is a flight attendant and the mother of two teen age boys and this has brought her to her knees. Does anyone know of any doctors in the Phoenix, AZ area who specialize in treating RSD? Our family will do whatever it takes and travel out of state if necessary to get treatment. Do you start with medication or nerve blockers?
