Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome

Posted By Robert C. Spooner, Jr. on June 22, 1997 at 18:37:57:









I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome in my right hand, which has now
spread into my right arm and shoulder.  I am finding no relief in the medicines
which are being prescribed and would like to find out information about what
treatments, therapies, exercises and programs are being utilized successfully
in relieving the symptoms of RSDS and managing it more successfully in
every day life.
I was retired in February of this year from the USMC because of the RSDS in
my right hand, and subsequently, have been treated through the VAMC in Houston.
I would like to know if there are any facilities or physicians either in the Houston
area, or through the military, who are familiar with, and have treated,
patients with RSDS.
Thank you.
