Must See Video Clip on RSD / CRPS

It is sad that so many doctors still do not know about RSD/CRPS. Next time you are at your doctor's - ask him if he knows what it is and help spread the word so people don't have to wait so long to find out that is what they have. September is pain awareness month - let us all do our part. This video is very informative on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, it reviews the symptoms, the treatments, and explains how the pain becomes its own disease.

Sore No More

If you haven't heard of "Sore No More" or "Sombra" Warm or Cool Therapy Gel for pain relief you should check it out. Both products are made by the same people. Sore No More is the retail product line and "Sombra" is usually sold via health professionals. Either one works good for pain relief. I often rub it all over my left leg (which is the side I have RSD on) and it helps with the pain and allows me to sleep better. I have had several friends in the pain support group try it and they too like it so I thought I would share it with you.

Great Support Group / Forum for RSD / CRPS Sufferers

Physicians for Patients is an online support community for those living with CRPS/RSD. The forum is physician moderate and allows the users to interact with each other; as well as, with their CRPS physician specialist (the entire project is offered at no cost).  Currently, they are trying to spread the word about a new health tracker they have developed for CRPS/RSD patients. The idea is to have a tool so that they can track symptoms and see what could be contributing to them. 

They will also be looking for associations. Their hope is to identify correlations between symptoms, daily activities, medications, and the environment. This will hopefully help them to better understand CRPS and, hopefully lead to new potential treatments.

They need a large number of people to participate.  So if you are interested, join http://crps.physiciansforpatients.com/.
