Welcome! The RSDSA community is open to all those affected by or interested in CRPS/RSD – patients of all ages, caregivers, physicians/healthcare professionals and researchers. No membership forms or fees. Just come right in.

Why is joining the RSDSA community important? When you are diagnosed with CRPS/RSD, your life can change radically. It can be lonely and isolating.
