Ok. stages. every one with this stages thing.. I've seen sites that live by this but they still differ one says 2 stages another says 3, or 4 or 5.
mean while if you look at the lists in each category you can probably take a little from each list. ... now MY dr,s admittedly know little about RSD. (cept painmanagment) and they all agree stages are not really usable for said reasons.
now as far as osteo.. anything sad to say you can do any to all treatments and still have worsening symptoms and issues, .. caution to all if their dr says differently
