Question submitted:  What is RSD/CRPS
Answer:  RSD-reflex sympathetic dystrophy is now known as CRPS-Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.  It is a disease of the autonomic nervous system.  It is a burning sensation that feels like the pain from an amputated limb when it first happens.  However, it never stops, it burns constantly every minute of everyday.
