Pain Doctor Nick Scott Talks About Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, also known as complex regional pain syndrome, is a chronic pain condition with no known cure. It is most commonly reported in the limbs; often the pain will spread from hand to shoulder, or foot to hip. The severity of the pain without severe injury is one of the telltale symptoms of reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

There are two types of reflex sympathetic dystrophy: RSD 1, when pain stems from an initial painful event that may or may not be traumatic, and RSD 2, when pain stems from an identifiable painful event or nerve injury. Both RSD 1 and RSD 2 cause continuous, intense pain out of proportion to the severity of the injury. Some common symptoms include drastic changes in the temperature and color of the skin over the affected limb or body part, accompanied by severe burning pain, skin sensitivity, sweating, and swelling. Some other key features of reflex sympathetic dystrophy include hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to painful stimuli), and allodynia (a painful response to a typically non-painful stimulus).
