It is sad to read: The patient was treated for the acute symptoms in the urgent care setting with the standard of care ...and does not have a very good prognosis, as this entity tends to get worse despite treatment.

It may be that even after 140 years, the appropriate treatment for a neurological dysfunction hasn't been found, or it might be that the medical profession is treating the wrong disease.

It's interesting, to say the least, that the author chose to include the words: Though this could easily be mistaken for an infectious process, it was actually reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), as my next major post will describe why the acute stage of this disease is easily mistaken for an infectious process. [emphasis added].

The post I'm working on now explains why our immune response to trauma is exactly the same as the immune response to infections of every sort. It will tell you why RSD almost always begins with the spreading inflammation we see in these pictures...Vic
