RSD is usually caused by some time of injury big or small. There are a few cases where there was no cause, and also some people got crps from getting blood drawn or having an IV put in.

I got rsd after I broke my kneecap at work in 2003. I'm sorry you have rsd too, but you are not alone. The are some great people on this board. Feel free to ask any questions you have. We are the "experts" on rsd. Who knows better than we do what it's all about. We don't have all the answers but we can share our experiences with each other.

Hugs,

Karen
