I told them the probable diagnosis and they got her in within 2 days to meet with the whole team--the doctor, nurse, psychologist, physical therapist, and social worker. They gave her the CRPS diagnosis and explained in kid terms what was happening and why she needed to use her foot even though it hurt for now. They taught her self-hypnosis, deep breathing, relaxation skills and even introduced her to aroma-therapy. They made her start using her foot then and there--told us they wanted to boot and crutches gone ASAP. The psychologist met with her for a bit. We were at the appointment for about 4 hours, but it was so worthwhile.
