RSD & Chronic Pain Information Expo

Thank you for your interest and patience

2010-09-05T00:41:00.002-07:00

Due to a lack of volunteers we have been unable to plan and execute an expo in the last couple of years. We are looking into ways to solve our lack of manpower so that we may hold our event again in the coming years.

If you would like to volunteer, exhibit, or speak, or know someone who would, please contact us at tucsonrsd@yahoo.com.

Thank you for your continued interest. And please check back here for updates.

Thank you for your participation!

In the meantime, we encourage you to participate in a support group and to pursue treatment options that are right for you.

Take Care!
