lol Kev !

Hi Cheryl,

Welcome to NT !
Glad you found us, but sorry that you had to

6 of 1, half dozen of the other.
CRPS is just the newest name for RSD. I tend to call it RSD, because that's the name I first heard this condition called. Many here call it CRPS because that's what they are more comfortable with. A few get more specific and refer to CRPS I or CRPS II. Whatever works for you !

What kind of treatment are you receiving that you are finally getting some relief ?

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.
