WHAT IS R.S.D?
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, is a chronic neurological syndrome characterized by:
severe burning pain pathological changes in

WHO CAN GET R.S.D?
Who can get CRPS/RSD? Anybody! Anyone can get CRPS/RSD at any age, but studies show that it is more common in people between the ages of 25 and 55, and is more frequently seen in women than in men. It used to be considered rare in children, but there has been a recent increase in the number of cases among adolescents and young adults
DIAGNOSIS
A physician must make a clinical diagnosis of
CRPS/RSD using a patient history, a thorough
examination, and the results of numerous

Early diagnosis and treatment with pain control,
physical therapy, and counseling offer the
highest probability of remission from CRPS/RSD.
