Dear Elisa/Rachel -

Lit Love and Kathy makes good points. And taking theirs a step further, it is better to have this as a child as horrible as that sounds. A number of treatments which provide adults only temporary relief have put children into permanent remission, in addition to those who reached ed spontaneously.

There are a number of very good pediatric centers around the country/world that have done remarkable work with CRPS. If you tell us where you're located, there are a number of parents of kids with CRPS in the forum who should be able to offer some very specific suggestions.
