I've heard of this- had a claimant with RSD and now a friend with it. It's VERY different from Fibro. Been a LONG time since the claim- but it started with a horse stepping on the claimant's foot- as for the friend- his was brought on by something shooting into his hand (but oddly, not piercing it). It's also been a long time since I've read records on a claimant with Fibro, but from what I recall, it's similar in the aspect of the pain only- FM is not brought on by an injury per se and there is no objective info. to support it- i.e., it can't be 'seen' in typical MRI/X-Ray, that sort of thing. While RSD can't be either, sort of- there is an injury at play here and often times, I believe cysts involved. Again, it's been a while since I've read detailed medical records for either condition, but I do remember those tid-bits.
