It is imperative that a person suffering from RSD obtain a prompt diagnosis and treatment from a physician trained to recognize the unique aspects of this condition.

What Is Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy?

RSD (also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or CRPS) can be caused by a physical trauma, surgery, heart attack, or infection. Major symptoms of RSD include:

Severe burning pain
Swelling and joint tenderness
Loss of or diminished muscular function
Muscle spasms
Changes in skin temperature and color

RSD is a progressive ailment, meaning it can spread and become more severe. Left untreated, it can lead to osteoporosis, muscle wasting or other serious complications, even the amputation of an affected limb.
