Do you have CRPS? Or is it RSD? It doesn’t really matter; the real problem is the P-A-I-N. Your body’s alarm system, the nervous system, has become extra sensitive to protect you against pain, sensitivity, swelling, body parts changing color and temperature, spreading pain and more. Unfortunately, the tests and treatments that are meant to ease your suffering often fall short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThere’s good news. We now know that the source of chronic pain, such as CRPS, is more likely the nervous system and brain―not injured tissues. So, treatment for CRPS must start there: understanding how the brain and nervous system produce pain. Research shows that the more you know about pain, the better off you’ll be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThis book was written to teach you the truth about CRPS: what it is, how it works, and how you can find relief.
