RSD
PHOTO GALLERY
This new section of our website will be
dedicated to show you the many different views of how RSD/CRPS can affect the body. Below
you will view photos that show many of the different types of symptoms that are associated
with RSD/CRPS such as edema, discoloration of the skin, skin ulcers/lesions, and
deformities of the extremities and digits. You will also see some before and after
treatment photos along with some Thermography photos.
Edema Photos |
 |
Skin Ulcer/Lesions Photos |
Skin ulcers after treatment of epidural,
regional nerve blocks, and I.V. Mannitol, showed marked improvement of skin ulcers. |
Skin Ulcers Caused from
Application of Ice |
Five years of daily self-applied
cryotherapy(application of ice) resulted in the breakdown of skin, cold blisters, and
damage to sensory nerves. |
Eleven days after discontinuation
of cryotherapy, treatment of epidural, regional nerve blocks, and I.V. Mannitol, showed
marked improvement of the bulbous lesions. |
Bilateral Thermogram shows marked
hypothermia due to vasoconstriction in the cryotherapy area. |
Skin Lesions Caused from
Venipuncture Injury |
Venipuncture CRPS II, five months after a
blood test, resulted in neuroinflammatory bulbous lesions. |
Lesions became ulcerated. |
The lesion healed after treatment with I.V.
mannitol and I.V. immunoglobulin treatment. |

Deformity Photos |
 |
 |
 |
Deformity was caused by multiple carpal
tunnel surgeries. This patient also had the 5th digit (little finger) amputated. |
Thermography Photos |
CRPS of seven years duration due to
right hand injury. Two years of unsuccessful operations at right carpal tunnel, and 5
years of immobilization of hand have resulted in "Boxer’s Hand Deformity"
and ultimate amputation. |
Venipuncture RSD/CRPS Damage to the Median
Nerve. |
More than two dozen stellate ganglion
blocks to each side have damaged enough sympathetic nerve to cause permanent hyperthermia
as the manifestation of virtual sympathectomy. Further blocks have no diagnostic or
therapeutic value. |
Thermography of face and hands after
Sympathectomy |
