I didn't see the McGill pain index mentioned yet, but for my daughter, that was very helpful. Try printing it out from a link somewhere where it says RSD/CRPS instead of causalgia (the old name) and showing it to him - it shows RSD as the worst pain, worse than amputation. It's also easier and quicker to look at a chart than to read an article.
The chart from American RSDHope is a good one - try googling American RSDHope and McGill pain index. I can't remember the link policy here, or I would give you the link.
So sorry to hear of your difficulties  Prayers and gentle hugs!  |
Great suggestion! I have used the McGill Pain Index MANY times, it is very helpful. My husband says that it really gives a good picture of the level of pain we deal with.
Here is a link to one, but it has causalgia. I personally like this one the best because of the explanation and it shows more conditions on it that people can relate to.
