Can anyone on the list give me a personal referral to a physiatrist in
Southern California?  I don't know anyone, locally, who sees one, and I have
some questions that are a bit beyond the pediatrician, and I just don't have
a lot of faith in asking a surgeon (aka orthopedist).

Evan is having pain in his feet and ankles.  His smo/afos don't seem to
leave any persistent red marks, and he seems just as likely to have pain on
a day when he doesn't wear them as when he does.  He's only 3, and sometimes
I think he has trouble identifying the source of pain.  He also has a stoma
(gtube site) that's pretty inflamed, right now.  I'd like to know if his
pain is a normal part of his CP, and if there's something we can do about
it.  So far, all I've done is massage and advil.

Feel free to respond off-list, since this probably isn't of interest to most
of the list.

Thanks for your help,
Dianne
