Hi, Debbiehub:

I am the kind of person who needs to know what is going on with her body. I also need physicians to put names on the various syndromes and diseases I suffer from; it helps me feel they are not in my mind, that is, that I did not make them up.

I am happy you think I am on the right track; I feel more reassured and closer to finding the answers I am looking for.

Quote: "My RSD went from Symp. maintained to centralized after a hip replacement." So you have Central Pain Syndrome on top of RSD, just like me. May I ask what kind of doctor made your diagnosis (pain management physician, anesthesiologist, orthopedic surgeon, neurologist, etc.)?

Thanks again.
