Daily Question
|
Many patients with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) suffer from depression. Is the depression secondary to the RSD pain, or is depression a causative factor in the disease?
|
|
Answer
|
|
Many patients with RSD are depressed. However, they are depressed due to their pain. When the pain is adequately relieved, RSD patients are not more likely than the rest of the population to suffer depression.
