The April issue of MORE Magazine has an aritlce in it called "The Male-Female Pain Gap"
It is a 2 page article telling how differently women are treated for pain compared to men and how differently they handle it. CRPS is mentioned in it. I believe it would be a great article to hand to a Dr. I would give it to mine to read because I know it's not about him but I would give it to an ahole who treated me like crap in hopes that it might be a wake up call for them. Some Drs. ego's get in their way of learning from things like this.

You may be able to pull it up on line. I would recommend this article as a very good read.

By the way, I do think women are treated differently then men with Drs. I did years ago ask my Dr. that. I ask if it was a woman thing and he said not to even go there. I realized though how much he's done for me and the meds he handed me to try and knew it wasn't with him but in finding him, I ran into a lot of jerkface Drs. along the way.
