I am not watching as I was dealing with something else.
She comes running into the house and says that she cant move her elbow after she fell on it. Now, is this a "real" injury from the fall, or also the RSD. I am told by someone that the RSD doesnt just happen like that. I woudl guess that if we are not agressive about this real injury then, it will also turn into RSD?
As a mom, I can only take so much.

Hello Sandy,

It seems Great to me, that your daughter is making positive decisions, that she "Can" do things!
That she fell on her arm, and it hurts, I would consider to be a one time incident. RSD does Not instantly "jump" to a new place like that.
I'd be a bit more concerned about why did she fall? Is it that she's not used to the medicine yet?
Did she hit a bump? (If she's prone to falling, be sure she has a Helmet!)

What I found really astonishing reading your note, was that you say, "She comes running"!
Running? That's great!

Keep your chin up!

Prayers for your daughter and yourself!
