Does cold treatment make your pain worse?

If if does you may have a type of neuropathy called RSD. (CRPS)

This is our RSD forum where you can ask the posters there about progression of pain, which sometimes happens with RSD.

In general PNers like cold treatments which will numb pain signals.
But if the nerves are reacting differently, as in RSD, they prefer, heat treatments. So this can be a diagnostic sign.
