It was just pointed out to me that Mitochondrial dysfunction in muscle tissue of complex regional pain syndrome type I patients, Tan EC, Janssen AJ, Roestenberg P, van den Heuvel LP, Goris RJ, Rodenburg RJ, Eur J Pain 2011 Jan 22. [Epub ahead of print], is already in the online RSDSA library @ http://www.rsds.org/2/library/articl...0Pain_2011.pdf

The significance of the article is that it provides evidence that there is apparently more to muscle atrophy in CRPS than "neurogenic-vasoconstriction" (constriction of blood vessels due to the nerves that control the blood vessel's "tone"). Specifically, there is a metabolic disorder in play.

This disease just keeps on getting more interesting all the time, doesn't it?
