Default Pain Levels and School

My 15yo daughter has been diagnosed with "amplified pain" by a group of docs, not RSD or crps, which they said was along the same line. Had it over 2 years now. At this point she's missed a lot of her sophmore year of high school and we're really struggling with the school district and getting her to do the work at home. This isn't a question about battling the schools or a diagnosis, but trying to understand her pain level and how much to push her to make to at least a couple of classes a day at school. She's not very good at communicating her pain and we're not supposed to ask about it, which makes it difficult. She made it to a couple of days last week to one class, but then couldn't make it the other days because her back hurts after sitting, especially in those hard chairs. She seeing a therapist now, but that's one day a week and we're looking at probable stint at Mayo pain clinic. She has a homebound teacher coming but all they really do is deliver school work, no teaching.

So help me out, do we push her to get out of the house, push through the pain, no matter how much it hurts? How much do we push and how quick do we go to get her integrated back into a school day so she can make it through the year? Do we tell her she has to go to 1 or 2+ classes/day, no option, even with tears?
Any experience and your insight would be greatly appreciated.
Mike
