The internet offers a wealth of websites to educate you about RSD/CRPS and FM.  Listed below are websites that provide education about RSD/CRPS & FM as well as supportive advice for living with chronic pain and its associated medical problems.  Links to external sites should not be construed as a formal endorsement, approval of information, or as a specific recommendation from the Lehigh Valley RSD/CRPS Support Group.  Sites are listed as a basic service to individuals searching for general information about RSD/CRPS & FM to help deal with chronic pain.

At the more general websites for chronic pain, access information specific to RSD/CRPS & FM by using the search option with "RSD" and/or "Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy," "CRPS" and/or "Complex Regional Pain Syndrome," or the "RSD/CRPS" combination. You may also try the Fibromyalgia or FM or PTFM search as well. Try different options as not all sites use the same terminology; some sites prefer just using "RSD" or "CRPS" while others will use both terms.  Thus, search parameters should take this situation into account.
