Just posted as new under Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

Just diagnosed two weeks ago after rotator cuff surgery back in May. It has been a hellish journey and still no treatment just living through the pain and stiffness and swelling throughout my whole arm and hand. No clots; have been tested and no pinched nerves. Difficult because cuff surgery takes up to a year to heal by itself and now I have this too. I have kept moving though the pain which I know is important, and am still in PT and still searching for the right doc. I am seeing a pain specialist but am hesitant for a ganglion stellate block and gabapentin but admittedly they say they have not treated many (I live near Annapolis, MD). I research everyday and see so much stuff - all I know is I need to be treated soon.

Good finding someone to talk with. Sometimes I think we know more than the docs. Please see my other post.
