Hi, My name is Caroline, and I'm not quite sure how this works, but I have read a few messages, and would like to share that I have had RSD for 3 years now, well it has only been diagnosted, but I have had it for many more years, I crushed my leg in a motorcycle accident, and the RSD has spread to my right leg. I guess you all know how much pain, physicaly and mentally this can cause a person. I take very strong pills and have a neuro-stim installed in which I get some relief with. Talk to you all soon but I am going to read more messages so I can get to know you all better. Caroline
