Treatment versus Pain Therapy
So I am new to the RSD and CRPS forum. So hello. I am actually on here for a friend trying to help her with whatever information she can get since her internet access is limited and so is the knowledge of RSD/CRPS by her available doctors. Her 11 yr old daughter was recently diagnosed, and it seems like the recovery outlook on kids is greater the sooner you get into getting stuff done. However we are hitting a lot of walls. All the hospitals have a several months waiting list, and it seems like a lot of people are unwilling to treat kids. Additionally, it appears that a lot of places specifically offer "pain management" opposed to treatment. I do find lots of information on physical therapy and such, but am trying to find a good doctor in their area that treats kids. They are in Southern Illinois, with the closest major city being St. Louis. So if anyone knows of anyone that isn't just in the pain managment business, but more in the fix the problem business please let me know. And quite possibly I am still pretty ignorant to the CRPS situation, so correct me if possible because whatever info I can give to her is more than we had to start with. Thanks!
