I thought you might find this interesting. Since I was diagnosed with "chronic and severe" fibro by a rheumatologist, it's pretty definite I have fibro. I hurt my foot and got burning pain, had 8 blocks, and they said rsd. I know it's possible to have both but the symptoms are practically identical to fibro. This is tooo wierd, huh?

Please, tell me what are "CRPS" and "RSD".

CRPS and rsd are basically the same thing. one old phrase and the new one. they mean complex regional pain syndrome.

You get severe burning pain, a disorder of the symphathetic nervous system.

I can't really explain it very well. It's under the symphathetic reflex dystrophy board.

Lots of good ifnoramtion.
