Default Newbie - RSD

Hello!

My 15 year old daughter has RSD/CRPS. She was diagnosed 3 years ago at the age of 12. It is in her left leg. She is in a bad flare up right now. We just moved to Oklahoma from Texas and I am wondering if anyone has a good doc they can recommend in OK. TX is so far to go when she is in such intense pain. She has an amazing pediatric pain management doc at Children's Hospital in Dallas but it is so far to drive when she is in such pain. We are going down tomorrow to try to get her some immediate help but we will need someone in-state soon.

I have also read that some people have had good results with TENS units. I have one that I use for pelvic pain issues that I thought I could try with her if I knew where to put the leads. I don't know if I should put them on her leg where the pain is or on her low back where those nerves begin. Anyone with info or experience on this - your advice would be appreciated. It just worries me to stick those leads on her right where she hurts so bad.

Just hoping to get some support for her and myself as her mom.
