Question:
I am searching for informaiton regarding RSD.?
I am currently researching the effects of RSD on people injured while working, i.e., worker's compensation claims being denied and/or questioned regarding RSD as a post injury problem.
Answers:
RSD or Reflex sympathetic dystrophy, is a degenerative and chronic progressive disease characterized by severe pain, swelling and changes in the skin. Since it is catigorized as "Degenerative" which means it has been going on for many years, more than likely natural causes, MOST workmans Comp companys will not pay for it. HOWEVER i do know of a patient that had that under Workmens Comp for the reason being that he worked there many many years. plus he had another injury with his foot. So if the Workmans Comp denied it, theres not much that you can do. i would get a legal advisor if you believe that RSD may not be chronic in your case.
