RSD

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome is a chronic condition associated with severe burning pain, pathological changes in bone and skin, tissue swelling, excessive sweating and extreme sensitivity to touch.  It occurs especially after injuries from high-velocity impacts such as those from bullets. However, it may occur without apparent injury. One visible sign of R.S.D. near the site of injury is warm, shiny red skin that later becomes cool and bluish. The pain is out of proportion to the severity of the injury and gets worse over time. Eventually the joints become stiff from disuse, and the skin, muscles, and bone atrophy. The symptoms of R.S.D. vary depending on the severity and duration. 

A good prognosis may be obtained if R.S.D. is detected within the first three months of the symptoms.  If you believe your condition was caused or aggravated by an accident, call a personal injury lawyer.
