I thought they were the same. I am going to talk to my friend that lost his arm and see how he describes his pain. I notice with him though, his mental attitude is a lot better then most RSD patients. Maybe it's just my mental attitude. He is extremely active and doesn't act like he is in pain but I would guess he is.

I guess what I am trying to figure out is the mental difference between people in pain. I definately am not normal in that way, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the RSD. It seems to.

Thanks to both of you.
