Common Symptoms of Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD)

The most common symptoms of RSD include:

• Severe burning pain
• Pathological changes to bone and/or skin
• Excessive sweating
• Excessive tissue swelling
• Extreme sensitivity to touch in the affected area
• Movement disorders (i.e. tremors, spasms, hyper reflexes, difficulty with movement)
• Frequent infections
• Recurrent migraine headaches

According to the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association of America, RSD spreads to other parts of the body in 70% of reported cases.

Medical professionals recognize two RSD subgroups: Type I and Type II.  This distinction is based on the treating physician’s ability to identify an underlying nerve injury.

In Type I cases, the individual suffered no specific underlying nerve injury.

In Type II (sometimes called causalgia), there was a distinct major nerve injury at the start of the condition.
