Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy – RSD – Re-examined

Hector Rivera is a coach, filmmaker, and podcaster who suffers from Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. His website and podcast; Happy and Healthy Over 40 are committed to people over 40 who want to maintain a healthy mind in a powerful body. He’s been involved in the entertainment business for over 20 years.

He started his journey as an executive coach and men’s work facilitator, due to a heavy piece of equipment that fell on top of him while working. The healing process went poorly. Hector was ultimately diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), a rare disorder of the sympathetic nervous system that is characterized by chronic, severe pain.

Hector was determined to get better. He followed the instructions of his doctors to the letter. He underwent multiple surgeries and saw many specialists such as orthopedic surgeons, podiatrists, and neurologists. Nothing worked. In fact, Hector was told at the outset, that medical science had no cure for this type of neuropathy. All the doctors could do was to try and reduce his level of pain.

Listen up as we discuss options for this remarkably debilitating condition: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
