With the help of this compact guide, anyone suffering from CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) (also known as RSD - Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) will better understand their condition and cope with the reality of living with it. Prof Karen Rodham draws on a wealth of clinical experience to give tried-and-tested practical advice for managing this very complex and debilitating syndrome, about which very little is understood by the medical community at large. Ten first-hand patient accounts of living with CRPS illustrate just how wide-ranging the impact can be physically, socially and emotionally, and what has helped on an individual basis. This book's hands-on guidance will be of great help to people diagnosed with CRPS and show family and friends how they can best provide support.
