RSD PUZZLE #22
Possible Timelines Of RSD Recovery
"Will RSD always be with you even if you recover from an original injury?
If RSD is treated early and properly, it will not hang around forever. It will definitely
improve and in better than 80% of the cases when treated in the first 6 months it
completely cleared up. After two years the percentage of success drops precipitously. The
main exception is among children and teenagers. In this group there is such a strong
recovery power that the prognosis is usually excellent and it is hard to mess them up with
improper treatment with these patients the sympathetic dysfunction after successful
treatment becomes asymptomatic. On can always pick the abnormalities up on thermography or
in occasional cases on bone scan tests in a patient who is otherwise asymptomatic, but
these tests show sympathetic dysfunction. The sympathetic dysfunction alone is not the
same as RSD (Please see RSD Puzzle #1 "What is RSD").
