RSD/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
The National Institutes of Health lists Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) (also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) or causalgia) as a rare neurological condition. It causes intense pain, burning or skin sensitivity, usually in the arms, hands, legs or feet and may get worse over time. It sometimes follows an injury to a nerve or to bone, muscle or connective tissue.
Rest and time may only aggravate the pain. Since RSD is unusual it is difficult to diagnose, and insurance companies often deny claims for diagnostic tests, nerve blocks and alternative pain management treatment, and disability benefits related to the condition.
Identifying the source of RSD
It may have seemed at the time of the car accident that your injury was a simple fracture or joint injury. However, even as the fracture and soft tissue healed, the burning pain from the related nerve injury became increasingly intense. If this sounds like your story, you may be entitled to additional benefits from your insurance providers.

With the help of medical experts and diagnosticians, we may be able to recover the compensation you need and are entitled to.
