Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy?

Does anyone here suffer from this? What can you tell me about it. My husband has had it for 7 years now and is completely miserable and it's getting worse with no new answers. Anybody's input would be appreciated.

    This syndrome is very hard to treat. I can tell you that they don't know a whole lot about it and every patient reacts differently with different treatments. Usually involves taking anti-inflammatory, antidepressants. sometimes its helpful to go to a pain clinic at a big hospital. they also incorporate physical therapy with psychotherapy to help with the treatment. It also is a long process.
