I've read several stories about people who have to be in wheelchairs because of this RSD pain. It is hard for me as a teenager to watch my mother grow up this way and not be able to do the things everyother kid can do with their mother.I guess my question is what has helped you the most to overcome this? Does anyone know of any good pain clinics/doctors in the bay area that have helped them? If you have any advise to help my mom, please feel free to as well.
Thank you,

Dear Alynna,
Your cry for understanding of how to help your mother was very difficult to read, and at the same time gave insight into how much you love and need your mother.
I can tell you when I'm at my lowest, the most comfort I receive is from being loved unconditionally just as I am. Now for me that means distracting me from my pain by sharing my space and time with conversation about something other than my pain, a good game of scrabble without feeling like my opponent would rather be somewhere else, or enjoying a favorite movie. A couple hours of distraction are priceless.
Your mother is the same person she always was on the inside and I hope she knows just how much you love her.
There is a wealth of information here, and I'm positive many will respond to your request.
With prayers for you and your mother,
Pat E
