Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
RSD can manifest itself in nerve pain that will not go away. RSD occurs when the part nervous system to the hand and arm is disturbed and becomes overactive. Burning pain, swelling, stiffness of the hand are typical symptoms. There are various causes to RSD (infection, pressure on a nerve, heart attack, stroke or surgery may trigger RSD) but it's usually brought on by injury. Even minor injuries can be responsible, but the 'hallmark" symptom of RSD tends to be pain that is greater than would be expected from the type of injury sustained.
There are various stages of RSD, and it develops over a period of one to three years. The most important thing to know about RSD is that early treatment possibly improves the prognosis for recovery.
If a work injury has led to reflex sympathetic dystrophy, we will keep track of your medical progress and ongoing problems to make sure you get the medical treatment you need and you don't return to work until you are ready.
