Could he be thinking of CRPS/RSD?
(Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (Complex Regional Pain Syndromes Type I) and Causalgia (Complex Regional Pain Syndromes Type II)(RSD and CRPS))

Some of our long time members w/ TOS developed RSD/CRPS also..
No one recently has mentioned the combination of dx's so I didn't bring it up.
Many would get a dx of fibromyalgia also.
