Anyone have kids with RSD? Why are so many people getting this??

Actually, studies have shown that more people are not getting it. In fact, it has been over diagnosed due to doctors new found recognition of crps and the importance of quick diagnosis. A study of 100 patients referred to yale for treatment of crps showed that only 8 actually had it. Most had a differential diagnosis after further investigation. How many people do you know that have textbook crps with every symptom that the dr can validate in the office? Not to say people don't get it, but I believe you see it more when your eyes are open to the possibility of it.
Btw, I was a kid diagnosed with crps at 15 best of luck to your daughter and her remission. Any questions you may have from an adults perspective on what it s like being a kid with it feel free to ask.
