Welcome Cheryl

Having CRPS is obviously horrible, and I'm sorry you've had to join the club The folk on here are great - supportive and funny and always someone here to understand...

Ah the name game...lol. RSD is the old name, CRPS is the new. Folk who've had it since the old name tend to stick with RSD, more recently diagnosed people tend to use the new name CRPS. And it varies by country too, I think RSD is in much more common usage in the USA, CRPS in the UK. Whichever you use, we know all too well what you mean!!

Take care and hope today is a good day.

Bram.
