Hello, I am brand new to this site & am sooo happy that this exists! I have had RSD/CRPS for three years this month. I JUST found out yesterday{12/3/13}, that this vicious monster has a name. All this time, 3 years, no one{not ONE of my many specialists} has been able to pinpoint my "problem". I was watching a segment on Inside Edition* about a young boy {who's father works for the program}who has suffered with CRPS for years. When his symptoms were listed, I immediately burst into tears, I could not believe that he was describing me!
I swear I didn't even know that there were others out there that felt this specific type of pain, that KNEW what I had been going through for 3 years! Thank God that I watched that program...I have NEVER watched it before! I was simply "channel surfing", trying to lull myself to sleep. I phoned my primary docs office this morn with the message "I finally KNOW what this monster in my leg is!"
