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.
