ok i keep hearing there is a difference between rsd and crps. Is there really a difference? first i was diagnosed with rsd, then it was crps type1. i hear that it doesnt spread thats why they call it regional syndrome.. i am really getting more confused by the drs i see.. can someone really answer these questions..if there is a difference what is it.. i am totally confused. i need to know which one i really do have..or if in fact they are one and the same and people are just stupid and dont understand.lol
