Hi,

Does anyone know of any Docs that get RSD? Because I don't. Hugs, Roz

I was wondering that myself!

I'd love to hear of any... or Doc's children that have RSD!

Well, we know of “Duke” the Florida surgeon from BT1, whose teenage daughter had a near miraculous recovery from ketamine infusions.

Beyond that, my anecdotal information suggests that some docs are nearly monomaniacal about getting blocks at the first indication of trauma, well before chronic pain has set in. For all I know, that may well prove to be the "gold standard" for treatment in the future.

When we were on the old forum I recall a Dr. committing suicide in New York. He wasn't on the forum but I believe the article was put on.
Other then that, don't know of any.

there's a doc in the philly area who has rsd.....his name is knobler and he's a neurologist....the last i heard, it was limited to his foot.....he used to head up jefferson's rsd clinic, but has semi-retired to a private practice.

I think Chirogeek on the old spinal boards has RSD, but he wont totally admit it lol.

There was about 3 years there the doctors had me believing my pain was in my head, or caused by back troubles. He had a lot of the symptoms of RSD, but wouldnt admit it is real.

We had many conversations on the subject. He does have a lot of good info on his website though

Check it out, you will see if you read about all his symptoms why I think he has RSD. Plus you will learn how to read an mri, and all about the spine, nerves, and all related material lol.

One of my anaesthetists has 2 daughters 15 , 17 with CRPS.
I would imagine the same percentage of doctors would get CRPS as any other occupation, I would also imagine that they would not use internet pain sites as a resource so we don't get to meet them!

who is the doctor who wrote a book and do you know the name of the book ... sounds like that might be worth reading. joan
