MomofR, Sad to hear your daughter has CRPS. You are right they say the 1st 3-6months is when CRPS can go into remission. I never new who to trust. Ortho was ignorantl, PT/OT continued to treat me as a regular injury. Luckily i found a pmDr. that hasnt had many patients with CRPS but very knowlegeable. His tells me if PT/OT does anything that causes pain to stop! If they do something that doesnt hurt but hurts for a couple of hours later for a short period later-its ok. The reason is with CRPS everytime you cause pain the brain which is overloaded from CRPS will send not just pain signals to normal pathways but begin finding new pathways. It is important to keep joint moving but not to the extent that causes pain then spread. I believed this but i wanted to hear from someone that has treated hundreds of CRPS-(Scwartzman PA, Kirkpatrick Fla, Getson NJ). As for blocks, had 4 in 2months. Maybe its too dangerous for a child although nothing is worse than CRPS spreading. momof4
