Living with RSDS: Your Guide to Coping with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
If you or someone you love suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS) also known as complex regional pain syndrome, this new book offers in-depth medical information, techniques, and strategies to help you deal with the syndrome's painful symptoms and psychological effects. No one knows what causes Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), or why it follows an estimated 5% of all injuries. It's an under-diagnosed and under-treated neurological syndrome characterized by swelling, skin discoloration, stiffness, and intense and chronic burning pain. RSDS affects as many as six million Americans—most often set off by a relatively minor physical trauma, but can also follow surgery or more serious injury. The diagnosis is often missed in the early stages of the disease, and when left untreated the syndrome leaves the sufferer bedridden and in incredible pain. Peter Moskovitz, M.D., and Linda Lang offer for the first time to the lay reader an in-depth explanation of RSDS, the most current and effective treatments, and numerous self-help strategies for dealing with the syndrome's painful symptoms and psychological affects. From their work as Board of Directors for the RSDSA—the leading patient advocate and research foundation in the United States for RSDS patients—Moskovitz and Lang are able to help readers make sense of this complex syndrome, get appropriate medical care, manage their pain, and regain control over their lives..
