One of the very best places for info on RSD is the RSDSA.org website. They have libraries of info on all sorts of stuff, and its really very good. I especially like the treatment info and have printed out many of the articles by Schwartzman. It could literally take you several days to get through their database. They also have links to many other informative sites.

SIP is sympathetically independent pain. SMP is sympathetically maintained pain. Your pain is SMP at first and is more easily treated with nerve blocks but once it becomes SIP it is much harder to treat.

I think I got that right. If I didn't then others on the board will jump in and straighten me out.
