I am not sure if I am appealing to right person or not. At this point I am completely lost and feeling completely helpless to help my child. I have a 13-year old daughter who was diagnosed with Psoriasis in October 2003, along with the psoriasis she has had a constant pain right on her tailbone often making it difficult (sometimes impossible) to move about or get up and down. She has been for X-rays, MRIs, and numerous blood work studies. She has been to see her Dermatologist, Pediatrician, Orthopedic Surgeon, Pediatric Rheumatologist (UNC-CH) and Physical Therapist. No one can seem to figure out what the problem is or what we should do about it. They keep throwing drugs at her - she is on tons of different steroids (that she has to apply throughout the day) and she has been on Naproxen (no effect), Ibuprofen (no effect) and is now on Vioxx (no effect and making her sick). I am desperate to find someone that might be able to help and even more has time and wants to. If there is anything you can do or suggest I would be grateful.
