Unhappy RSD/Headaches

Hello everyone, i am a new member to this site...I am frustrated and need some help..My daughter was 14 years old when she was diagnosed with RSD in her left arm and left leg..it took us approximately one year for it to be an offical diagnosis..she did receive some epidural to relieve pain, but they were temporary measures..this pain was so deblitating that she used to be in a wheelchair, because she couldn't bear weight on her foot, then we found Dr. Sherry, specialist for children with RSD at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia...in Jan. 2010 she entered his in-pt program of intense physical therapy for RSD treatment, her pain is much better, however, since February of 2010, she developed RSD in head and has constant headaches and at times it is unbearable...now my daughter is 19yrs old and it is very difficult to see her in such pain...she stays in her room, and can't tolerate any noise. now she is missing her classes at college...she is not on any medication, because i have seen where people become addicted to pain meds. my child is only 19, she has her whole life ahead of her..if someone has any ideas please help.
