Referred Pain: This is a condition where the body is fooled into thinking the pain is in one area where in fact the cause of the pain may be remote from that area. Seek and opinion from a reputable pain physician who may offer a soinal cord atimulator on a temporary basis to allow the body to adjust to the real cause of the pain.

RSD is now CRPS: There is no cure for crps, but the disease can be slowed. The main focus is on relieving the symptoms and helping people with this syndrome live as normal a life as possible. Physical and occupational therapy should be started as early as possible. Starting an exercise program and learning to keep joints and muscles moving may prevent the disease from getting worse.

Part 2: Medications: pain medicines, steroids, certain blood pressure medicines, bone loss medications (such as bisphosphonates like Fosamax (alendronate) and actonel), and antidepressants. Some type of talk therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or psychotherapy, can help with chronic pain. Injections, spinal cord stimulator, intrathecal pump are all more aggressive treaments.
