Thanks for the explanation but...

I just wanted to clear up that i have great insurance.. and yes it even paid for me to see a vasc surgeon!!! even with the diagnosis of RSD. I saw a vasc surgeon early on in my RSD bc of the spasms in my legs and the drastic color changes and my pm doc thought maybe he could do somethng... I am on medicare with a bcbs suppliment now, but at that time had a HMO which im sure you know that they can be jerks about letting pt's see diff docs but just thought it wasnt right of you to assume that just bc attorneys make good money that they have better insurance or that they have the extra to see a specialist.. im sure any of us on this board would pay out of pocket to see a doc that would help thier RSD!!

"that RSD is ischemia-reperfusion injury" how do you explain this to RSD'ers that got RSD from like a surgery or even a stubbed toe or a blood draw?? RSD is the brain sending off wrong signals... how do you get this ??

All.. ok most RSD patients have ischemia.. bc thats what causes our color changes and bone changes. Im not sure what you are saying when you call it ischemia-reperfusion injury. Are you saying that RSD isnt a disease or shouldnt be ?? I am just trying to get what you are saying in your post so it doesnt confuse us... bc its confusing me and i am or was in the medical field.
