My brother Mike is 38 y.o. and has had RSD for several years. He would get it in one limb then it would move to another. This past year, he did not have any 'flare-ups'. He had surgery a week 1/2 ago on his finger and now the RSD is back in that same hand he had surgery on. I dont understand why it was 'dormant' and now it is back? He lives in Buffalo, NY and sees a pain specialist, I don't know the name of the doctor though. Anybody have any advice or thoughts...it absolutely devestates my entire family when he goes through this. We feel so helpless...I just want to do anything I can to help. Any tips / advice would be great. Thanks....Judy
