Specializes in Rheumatology

RSD: RSD is now called chronic regional pain syndrome. It is a clinical diagnosis but sometimes we use a bone scan that can help detect changes and then affected extremity. I recommend to my patients the use of topical pain creams such as diclofenac and others. I would also recommend evaluation by a rheumatologist.
