But do becare to make sure she doesn't injure herself too much. I was a very clutsy child and still, which causes flare ups and also makes its spread. As long as she is careful she should be able to live a semi normal life. Good luck to you and your daughter. If you ever want to talk to some one who has lived with it since I was your daughters age, I'm always here.

Thanks, Blazed-kitty ... I greatly appreciate the offer of help.

It's unlikely there is a direct connection between RSD and concussion. At least I've never heard of such correlation.

The commonalities are.

Injury.
Being female.
Being early to mid-40's.
The injury was unexpected/ sudden.
Icing of injury.

Children have the best chance of "full" recovery with early and aggresive treatment. After two years it rarely goes away but it can improve. Even in cases of complete remission it can come back.

Good luck.
