Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, or RSDS, is accompanied by burning pain and hypersensitivity to temperature. Often triggered by trauma or nerve damage, RSDS causes the skin of the affected area to become characteristically shiny. In recent years, RSDS has come to be called complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS); in the past it was often called causalgia.

Repetitive stress injuries are muscular conditions that result from repeated motions performed in the course of normal work or other daily activities. They include:

  • writer's cramp, which affects musicians and writers and others,
  • compression or entrapment neuropathies, including carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by chronic overextension of the wrist and
  • tendonitis or tenosynovitis, affecting one or more tendons.
