My name is Barb and my husband has been recently diagnosed with RSD/CRPS. He had a knee replacement 2 yrs ago and his pain has been worse since the surgery than it was before the surgery. I suspect he may have had RSD/CRPS prior to his surgery. I'm looking for any support from other spouses of this disease or other sufferers of this disease. What can I do to help my husband? I feel completely inadequate helping him deal with his pain.

Welcome to NT!

You've come to a wonderful place of support and understanding. It's good of you to be here on behalf of your husband and I can imagine what this must be doing to the both of you, as this is such a frustrating condition. I'm very grateful to have a supportive husband who has been there every step of the way. Nobody in our small community has a clue what RSD is. That's why this forum has become so special.
Make yourself right at home. You'll find that people here are easy to talk to and very helpful.

You'll be amazed at how much information there is on RSD/CRPS.
You and your husband certainly are not alone.

It's great to have you!

Caring,
Rae

Thank you Rae for the warm welcome! I had my husband look at this site as well and he was very pleased I found this. He's on several other forums and was so glad to see that this one had a lot of "current" posts. Some of the other forums he's on have outdated posts and he's read just about everything. He was so happy to see all the current posts that he created a username for this forum right away.

Thank you again for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to talking with others here as well. Can I assume you have RSD? Would love to here your story.

Warmly,

Barb
