i have to point out that the summary of the NINDS conference includes the following:

" Only such an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach has a realistic chance of uncovering the pathophysiology and improving treatment of RSD/CRPS. "

doesn't that sound like they're admitting they really DON'T understand the pathophysiology?.....and that seems to me like admitting they really don't know the cause, the course, or the cure for this disease???

a reminder: we once did a survey (not terribly scientific, but informative) on the number of people who developed rsd after tourniquet use, and the numbers were shockingly high....does anyone else remember that?.......i think i'd like to see someone do a thorough evaluation of this issue, to settle the chicken/egg dispute.

and many blessings on the aussie docs....they seem far better informed about rsd than their yankee counterparts!
