RSD =Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
CRPS = Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
RSD & CRPS are the same disease and are interchangeable. The name was changed from RSD to CRPS in 2010 by the International Medical Community. So, it is now referred worldwide as CRPS.
Pretty much the only people who know what RSD/CRPS is are those who have been diagnosed with it or no someone with the diagnosis. Most doctors don’t even know what it is. I kept telling doctors “this is the worst pain I’ve ever had. I had 6 kids naturally; back injuries, dry socket...” It took me 15 years to get a diagnosis and when I did, I said, “what’s that!” It is considered the most painful disease known and even though it was first mentioned during the civil war there is still little known and no good treatments. If you’re interested in learning more just google CRPS.
