I'm introducing myself to the group. I've been reading many of your post for about two weeks. Ashton, my 18 year old daughter has RSD and I'm despirately seeking any and all info I can find to help us out. She sprained her ankle at church camp in July and it quickly turned into RSD and she lost use of her foot/leg quickly. As I see from many of your post, I feel lucky that our Orthopedic diagnosed it quickly. She is now under a pain management Dr. and we have undergone a nerve block and have at a TEC (to be removed tomorrow). Sadly I think the pain will come back. She has been able to rehab her foot/ankle/leg to partially bear weight and get around with a walker. I need to know what has worked the best to control pain and RSD symptoms for any of you. I know it is all a shot in the dark, or so it seems. I need to know what to pursue next or ask about next. The clock is ticking and I need to move quickly. She is on Lyrica, Lidocane patches and celebrex now and before the TEC was put in 12 days ago.

Thanks for all that you write. I have learned lots and continue to be inspired by each of you.

Hi Andrea, welcome to NT!

I can see that you don't need a link to the rsd/crps forum. But I'd like to suggest you copy and paste these questions to the rsd forum... you'll get the response you are looking for there.

I,too, am here at NeuroTalk because I have rsd. It's sure an awful thing to have. I'll hope for the best for your daughter. There are several other parents of rsd kids in our forum... they'll be able to give you tips to help get your daughter through this. You'll find all the info you want and the emotional support you need from the rsd forum.

See you there! :p

Welcome to Neurotalk, Andrea!:)
