am happy to be catching up with some of my favorite people! Mark, I completely agree about Dr Togut! Just wish we could make him 20 years younger and clone him so one could have an office near me! Hate it that I only get to see him every 12-18 months

RSD is the same as CRPS, but CRPS is the newer term, stands for complex regional pain syndrome. Type 1 is the old RSD, type 2 is what was called causalgia, or RSD due to nerve damage. A lot of Drs still use the RSD term, but they are the same.

Schwartzman is an expert in this field, and a referral from Dr T will probably get you in to see him fairly soon as they are colleagues, otherwise the wait is something like 2-3 years! He has a lot of experience with TOS patients who develop RSD.

Dawn, that is GREAT news!!

Jo, good luck retreiving your data. I HATE crashes, so time-consuming and v. frustrating!

Wishing everyone low pain and a good night's sleep,
beth
