Physicians use a variety of drugs to treat CRPS. Elevation of the extremity and physical therapy are also used to treat CRPS. Injection of a local anestheticis usually the first step in treatment. TENS (transcutaneous electrical stimulation), a procedure in which brief pulses of electricity are applied to nerve endings under the skin, has helped some patients in relieving chronic pain. In some cases, surgical or chemical sympathectomy interruption of the affected portion of the sympathetic nervous system is necessary to relieve pain. Surgical sympathectomy involves cutting the nerve or nerves, destroying the pain almost instantly, but surgery may also destroy other sensations as well.

7. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Hub A brief definition of reflex sympathetic dystrophy, followed by links to research articles, overviews, case studies, support groups and associations. http://www.projectlinks.org/rsd/

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy hub Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a chronic condition characterized by severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling, and extreme sensitivity to touch. It occurs especially after injuries from high-velocity impacts such as those from bullets or shrapnel. However, it may occur without apparent injury. One visible sign of reflex sympathetic dystrophy near the site of injury is warm, shiny red skin that later becomes cool and bluish.The pain that patients report is out of proportion to the severity of the injury and gets worse, rather than better, over time. Eventually the joints become stiff from disuse, and the skin, muscles, and bone atrophy.

Resources, Support, Personal Stories site updated on 04.04.04 Hello! Welcome to JoeyLee.com! My name IS Joey Lee, hence the domain name, JoeyLee.com (duh). I'm 38 years old, and not only gay, but also physically disabled. In February of 1992, I injured my right knee while working as a counselor for sexually and/or physically abused children/teens. Well, to make a very long story short, that injury lead to the diagnosis of both R eflex S ympathetic D ystrophy (RSD/RSDS), and A vascular N ecrosis (AVN). Both RSD and AVN are considered ''Chronic Pain Syndromes'', with RSD being the worst, yet most untreated, disease, in the Medical Field. So, being Gay and Physically Disabled, I decided that, rather than waste away my life on the sofa, I'd do my very best to help others that may be dealing with being Disabled and/or being Gay. I share my life with my Life-Partner, David*. We have been together for over 11 1/2 wonderful, yet pretty tough years. I have tried to separate this website into two main categories, being Gay, and being Disabled.
