There's been so much speculation, there are all kinds of theories out there. The most accepted one, the most general one, is that RSD is a consequence of soft tissue trauma.

There's talk about it being genetic, autoimmune, rheumatic, ... what have you. None of those theories have proof though. The only thing that is known is what triggers it: trauma.
