Default Exactly!!

Hi Mike,

That link won't work for me.

I totaly agree with you about RSD being a systemic condition in most cases, I say most because there's a part of me that feels there are seperate forms of CRPS as well as the stages. Or mabie it is reversed and it is actualy something that causes the condition to stay in one specific region sometimes.
Either way treating the condition systemicly is smart, diagnosing the limb using the patients contralateral (yep "other") limb is dumb.

WCB used my left leg to diagnose my right leg with RSD.. I got the diagnosis because the right was so much "worse" than my left, WCB didn't believe in spread back then so the would not listen when I told them they both had RSD.

After my radial angeogram same thing both arms had mild RSD prior to surgery, after angeogram right arm blew up and they used left arm.. didn't get the diagnosis at first because was a bad flare day for the left arm, so I went back after it had settled and they could see how much worse the angeogram arm was and then I got the diagnosis.. a year later I got diagnosed with RSD in all 4 limbs BY WCB cource my doctors had already diagnosed me full body lol

I have always thought my RSD went systemic very fast.. cold too. very fast, spread easy like wildfire.
