A source of information that is good is RSDSA-the national organization. By putting in your zip code, can get closest support group. Also rsdrx.com puzzles list is a Dr. Hooshmand's website-he practiced RSD 40 years, now retired but left his website online. the puzzles are 146 questions with his answers-very good. mayoclinic.com under diseases and conditions is also good.
Please let us know how you are, and how we can help. One of your new friends, Joyce

Hi Ruready.
I am sorry that you have been injured and developed CRPS. I ended up with CRPS due to a crushed nerve in my arm from an on the job injury. I just wanted to say I agree with Loretta. If your surgery has removed the source of agitation from your injured arm, then exercise is definitely the way to go in order to get better control of the CRPS. After having my surgery, I have done all of the types of exercises mentioned by Loretta. They are definitely worth the effort, and have helped a great deal in controlling the CRPS. Please let me know if there is any way I can be of help. Best of luck and God Bless You.
