Interesting.....but your single experience of being "cured" is the unbelievable exception (never heard of anyone beating CRPS), not the rule!

Agree - I haven't found many people who fully recovered from RSD either. On this site, the only ones I could find are a poster called Ness, and another person who had surgery to release an entrapped nerve that spontaneously resolved their pain after years of RSD. I've read a few personal accounts of similar cases like this on the net. Another gentleman had his symptoms suddenly disappear after 20 years, but could not pin down why.

I should probably change the word "cure" in the thread title to "fully recovered from." A cure implies some kind of magic bullet.
