Hi flippnout,


I know of 2 people who have RSD/CRPS as a result of a simple venepuncture prodecure for routine bloods.
I would have thought that this would constitute the diagnosis CRPS Type 2 as they were told that the pathology staff had in fact damaged the nerves in the cubital fossa and yet they both have been diagnosed as CRPS type 1
Is it any wonder there is such confusion amongst us.
I do know however that these people have had major improvements from stellate ganglion blocks and ketamine infusions, one having gone back to work with just a tiny patch of pain in the originalinjury site.
This is a disease seems to have it's very own agenda in each and every body it chooses as it's host.
Regards
Tayla
