"Regional" does indeed, make it seem as if it won't spread, and all this proves to me?
Is that we're still test dummies (to the medical society at large), and that they've got a lot to learn yet. And, guess who's got to INFORM THEM?
Yep.
US!
Thanks for all keep on keepin' on!

PS / BTW, I was speaking with an RSD friend a couple days ago, after her docs appt. and she was told that after 10 years, it goes internal for EVERYONE of us!
Can you imagine?

Hello all..
I think I can help clear up some of the confusion..RSD and CRPS is one in the same..only CRPS is a more recent..updated name for the condition..Now CRPS has two divisions..I and II.. the divisions are separated by their origin..I being an injury to the nerve..which is better than II..II is an actually impingment or beak in the nerve itself... just recently on my Philadelhia trip to Dr. S..I asked him..do I have CRPS I or II?? He said both..but it does not matter now..cuz I have it...Regional pain Syndrome does referr to the area of origin where the pain began but YES in deedy!! This momma does spread..Possibly like Pete said..10 yrs. internally for us all but I tend to believe this illness travels where it wants, when it wants and as fast as it wants..Mine is now whole body and Internal and I have had it for only 3 years...
Bless you all!!
Kathy
