Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), is a chronic pain condition of intense, continuous pain due to a severe injury. The gravity of RSD is furthered by the fact that the part of the body affected by RSD only becomes more painful over time. What complicates this situation further is that the pain from RSD will typically spread to other parts of the body. Considering how devastating RSD can be, our New York reflex sympathetic disorder attorneys will do everything they can to render just compensation for victims of RSD.

Doctors do not know what causes RSD and have yet to find a cure. Treatment consists topical analgesics, antidepressants, corticosteroids, and opioids. Furthermore, the prognosis for RSD varies from patient to patient. Some patients undergo an unexpected remission while others are subjected to irreversible pain or crippling, regardless of treatment. An early diagnosis of RSD/CRPS is crucial; if it is diagnosed late, the condition will progress much further, which can mean a lifetime of medical bills as well as emotional and social debilitation.
