I haven't read or spoken French in many, many years, but I'll do my best to translate this for our non French speaking members.

If some-one else can do a better job than I, please feel free to do so and I'll delete mine.


My 15 year old daughter has suffered from reflex dystrophy for 2years . She has a sprained foot. Do I have to treat it like any person with a sprain, with immobilization? Or, do we treat it like Duchenne's, and keep the limb as functional as possible?

Gosh, I hope I've not lost any of the original meaning here!

Hello Nancy.
I hope you can read english as I cannot translate to french.

Is the RSD in that sprained foot already?

Or are you concerned about RSD spreading to it?

[Sandel]

I think keep the limb as functional as possible, try not to imobilize it just to be sure and elevate it ALOT... do not ice it.
I would also give her vitamin C 500mg daily, you may want to ask her doctor about that (I am not a doctor).

I hope this helps.
Sandra

Bonjour Nancy. J'espère que vous pouvez lire l'anglais comme je ne peux pas traduire à français.

Le RSD est-il dans que le pied foulé déjà ?

Ou êtes-vous concerné de l'étalage de RSD à lui ?

Based on my own experience, I would advise her to keep it as active as possible. RSD becomes much worse with inactivity. Immobilisation would probably be the worst thing you could do with it. Just make sure to exercise it carefully- do as much as you can without hurting or tiring it.

Also, find a doctor knowledgeable about RSD, if you haven't done so already. Doctors that aren't knowledgeable about it are almost worse than no doctor at all. Get the right medication, and find a physical therapist who is knowledgeable about RSD (be careful to not let them overexert or injure the foot).

Here is the machine translation for the above comment for our French visitor.

Fondé sur ma propre expérience, je lui conseillerais de le garder aussi actif que possible. RSD devient beaucoup de pire avec l'inactivité. L'immobilisation serait probablement la pire chose que vous pourriez faire avec cela. Juste s'assurer l'exercer soigneusement- fait autant que vous pouvez sans blesser ou sans fatiguer il.

Aussi, trouver un médecin bien informé de RSD, si vous n'avez pas fait si déjà. Les médecins qui ne sont pas bien informé de ce sont presque pire qu'aucun médecin à tout. Obtenir les médicaments justes, et trouver un thérapeute physique qui est bien informé de RSD (fait attention pas pour les laisser overexert ou blesse le pied).

[Sandel]

Je pense garder le membre le plus fonctionnel possible, essayez de ne pas le imobilize juste pour être sûr et l'élever, beaucoup ... ai pas fait de glace.
Je voudrais aussi lui donner de la vitamine C 500mg quotidiens, vous mai voulons demander à son médecin à ce sujet (je ne suis pas médecin).
