RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy), also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS I), is a chronic neurological and chronic pain syndrome that affects between 200,000 and 1.2 million Americans, characterized by:

  • Severe burning pain

  • Pathological changes in bone and skin

  • Excessive sweating

  • Tissue swelling

  • Extreme sensitivity to touch

  • Limited range of movement

  • Movement disorders

  • Abnormal Skin color changes

RSD is a malfunction of part of the nervous system. Nerves misfire, sending constant pain signals to the brain. RSD develops in response to an event the body regards as traumatic, such as an accident or a medical procedure. Even minor injuries can cause problems. For example: a sprain or a fall are frequent causes of RSD. One characteristic of RSD is that the pain is more severe than expected for the type of injury that occurred

Early and accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are key to recovery, yet many health care professionals do not properly recognize and diagnose its signs and symptoms. Typically, individuals with RSD report seeing an average of five physicians before being accurately diagnosed.

RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) is not a psychological syndrome, but children may develop psychological problems when physicians, parents, teachers and other children do not believe their complaints of pain.

There are three main factors that could give rise to possible monetary retribution:

  • The RSD condition caused by an unnecessary surgery.

  • The RSD condition caused by an injection given in the wrong place or did an IV infiltration go unnoticed for too long.

  • Improper or negligence in misdiagnosing the RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) condition, even after the patient informs the health care professionals of the symptoms they are experiencing.


At Cohen • Battisti, Attorneys at Law, we fight vigorously for the legal rights of RSD victims.

Resolution of these key questions about RSD may require the careful review of medical records by one or more qualified specialists. Because RSD syndrome  is such a complex disease, there are numerous different types of experts who can provide assistance.

Note:
Many Individuals who have a bad surgical result with RSD as an outcome after carpal tunnel surgery, knee surgery, back surgery, surgery for a fracture, etc. RSD resulting from surgery is not necessarily a sign of surgical malpractice, but rather a recognized complication of surgery. Therefore, the bad result from surgery is generally not an indication of malpractice by the surgeon.

As far as injuries go, RSD is much worse than a broken arm or leg. The majority of RSD clients are left with a permanent and/or total disability. A lifetime medical bills alone can be enormous. Many RSD victims are financially devastated by the RSD syndrome. Additionally, the RSD syndrome can also be socially debilitating, finding it hard to maintain a marriage, act as parents or maintaining friendships while contending with severe chronic pain that many others have trouble understanding.
