Hi RSD or CRPS as it is know as u have 2 types of it type 1 is when u sprain or strain u hands or u feet. Type 2 is we're u have nerve damage or a operation.

Bye the sounds of it u hubby has type 1 and it is part of his case u need to go to u GP and get him to refer him to a pain specialist they will put him on the right meds and send him to other specialist if need be plus would give him a nerve block.

I have type 2 of rsd or crps mine was that bad I had my left arm amputated bye the way it's very rare that they will amputate also I had a car crash 2 years ago I had sprained my right ankle and now I have rsd in it and I have had 2 nerve blocks up to now.

I hope that helps a little bit best wishes

Would be interested to know any info of what happened and what brick walls you and you husband have come up against, I had nerve damage during an operation in 2008 this also left me with crps.

After 8 years I am still struggling to get answers or any kind of compensation from the NHS, also I had a insurance policy for critical illness and again I have hit a brick wall with the insurance company who will not pay up.

Would like to hear what your experience has been.

I truly feel your pain! I fought them for 5 years for my hubby. Keep at it! You already know what a strong person you are, now you have to prove to your hubby's WC insurance company exactly how stong an advocate for your hubby you are. I tried to be nice to begin with, then tried educating them as to the law in my state, when all of that failed, I let loose my inner Krackin b on them. We had an excellent attorney to win a cash settlement, and later on to settle his medicals. But he was useless at fighting the battle for aids for relief of his pain/condition.

So many victims of the insurance companies (who provide WC coverage) do not have advocates, they miss out on so many procedures, medications, etc.
