Aparently there are four types of spread with RSD, Contiguous Spread C.S. (moving up your limb or body), Independent Spread I.S, (to an other area of the body) and of cource Mirror Spread M.S. (across to other side) and Dissociated Spread D.S. (in some areas symptoms without pain)

These were documented in a medical paper done in january of 2000 called:

Patterns of spread in complex regional pain syndrome, type 1 (RSD).
by
Jahangir Maleki, Alyssa A.LeBel, Gary j. Bennett, and Robert J. Schwartzman.

I have the paper but havn't found a free online version yeat to post the link here.

I have one doc who thinks mine is both IS and MS and one that thinks it is CS and MS as do I.

But my doctors are now saying mine has generalized. which means spread throughout my body. And that too is what I think too.
WCB however is still saying there is no spread that it just does not happen except I.S. from another injury.. and they have their docs backing that up, s'a crazy world folks.

Anyway I just wanted to share the spread info if anyone can find a usable link to share this the most wake em up evidence and or just to see what is/can happening when spreading.

I think that as they note in the artical that I.S. strongly promotes the belief that I have always had that RSD has systemic qualitys, mabie some of the syndromes involve more systemic propertys while others stay more regional?

Anyho a thinker fer ya to work on and perhaps help some.. it sure has me.
