RND or reflex neurovascular dystrophy is amplified musculoskeletal pain in children. Since the pain is amplified, the pain is greater than one could ever imagine. Fibromyalgia is an amplified pain disease. Dr. David D. Sherry is a great source for information of this disease. My daughter has it, and these children limp or stop walking due to the pain. The only cure is intense daily pt/ot for 8 hours a day for 2-3 weeks.
Actually this disease is not just in children. And there is no cure for RND. I have it so I know. I did that program and it helped alittle but there is no cure.
RND is so, so painful! It's worse then any pain. Morphine doesn't help. You can't even sleep through it half the time. Your body has to learn to eal with it. No one can heal it, and so many people get mental health diseases from the intense pain too. Now, to answer you quetion... It is basiclly a dominoe effect of pain. You see, when most people have pain, the blood vessels tightten to prevent blood loss. This is a semi painful reaction, and most people don't notice it. But people with RND do, so the body goes, "OW! that hurts!" so the blood vessels tighten more, and again the body says "that hurts even more!" and it basiclly goes on in that process. I had it so bad were my leg turned blue, and even the wind blowing across it made me scream.
