The doctor called me out of the room and told me that he needed to show me a few things and pulled up the scan and xrays. On both of them are what appeared to be bright shiny objects unlike stones. Stones were present but these shiny objects almost glowed they were so bright. The doctor then told me that this was blood vessel calcification around the kidney and in the groin.

I could understand blood vessel calcification in the kidney due to stones but in the groin that has me worried now. A long time ago the doctors in the Marine Corps, and Navy and Army told me that my condition would eventually lead to numerous issues with my organs and blood vessels. Is this something that RSDS causes, or has anyone experienced this before?
Various metabolic and endocrine disorders can also cause this.....worth looking into! While both can have sympathetic influence, I am just not sure that you will find anyone to make the connection between CRPS and atherosclerosis although one may or may not exist.
