What Is Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy?
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy or RSD is also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, or CRPS. The way in which this syndrome develops is not completely understood, but it is often triggered or initiated by injury, such as an auto accident. The syndrome occurs in three stages, which are acute, dystrophic, and atrophic. The first two stages are very painful, and the third stage involves loss of function of the affected area. The prognosis, or outcome, can vary, but often, the syndrome leads to lifelong disability and pain. The Roberts | Jeandron Law Firm of Newport Beach, California understands the life implications that can go along with this syndrome and is dedicated to getting you fair compensation.
Causes of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
RSD can be triggered by almost any type of injury, from a motor vehicle accident to a slip and fall. It is believed that abnormal excitation of nervous tissue and the brain itself are somehow involved.
