Hi Nancy,

From the RSDSA Medical Articles Archieve page http://www.rsds.org/2/library/articl...ive/index.html and your friends at "our rsda site."

"Patterns of spread in complex regional pain syndrome, type I (reflex sympathetic dystrophy)," Maleki A, LeBel AA, Bennett GJ, Schwartzman RJ,
Pain 2000; 88, free full text at http://www.rsds.org/2/library/articl...chwartzman.pdf.

Also check out "Mirror-like spread of chronic pain," Forss et al, Neurology 2005; 65; 748-750. It's too big to post here, so send me a PM with your email address and I'll pass it on.

Finally, check out the paragraph on spread (at p. 278) in "The Natural History of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome," Robert Jay Schwartzman, M.D., et al, Clin J Pain 2009; 25: 273–280, free full text at http://www.rsds.org/2/library/articl...lexanderGM.pdf

Hope this helps,

Mike
