He would stay here and we'd use ice and he has prescription meds. Since getting out of football he is better but they did say not to put him back in it. He is 15. He canot tell us how he hurt his knees if he did. Your daughter just goofing around with her girlfriends or swimming or anything she could have set it off.
As you said, the headaches might have done it too. She may have even gotten a little knock on the head that sat it off in that area. As someone said though it could start without the injury at all.
I hope she finds some relief soon. I would make sure that you do have that right Dr. too. In watching that 3rd Fox news story, it says to keep going to Drs. until you find that right one. I did that when I first started. Of course mine went in a circle right back to my PCP but a good RSD Dr. is very hard to find.
Stay on here and you will learn enough that you can tell the Dr. what you think about the treatments and plans for her. You will learn more then a lot of Doctors know about RSD.

Perhaps we can all think back when our RSD entered our lives and really not a rock solid cause or injury...Currently, my RSD is whole body but I first began having trouble walking..it became increasingly difficult and painful... I knew of no cause for the pain...Now three years later and whole body..I think back and I had been experiencing some ear pain, headaches, mean headaches..not your usual headaches and hearing loss too... all of that was unexplained long before my walking was becoming an issue.. was it or is it connected to the beginning of my RSD?? So I believe we may never know what tips off this animal.. as Ada said..it could have been a minimal tap on the head which we may never remember happening... most importantly, we must try to manage our lives now with it...finding a great, knowledgeable Dr. in the field of RSD, we must try to educate ourselves and stay ahead in trying to live a happy fufilled life with our RSD as each day is a challenge...we must make RSD our friend, now thats crazy!!
In the mean time, we have eachother here..we know the hard knocks of this illness and all I can say is bless you all as life is short..and I am so glad I have you all here!!
Hugz, Kathy
