Diana hello I have TOS along with RSD also it was really bad (meaning both) my TOS was really compressed and my RSD was untreated for so long my only option at the time was a sympathectomy to be done I do not know if it has helped me I can say with meds and the operation for the TOS and sympathectomy I am a little better I also have spine problems that are getting worse.
The sympathectomy has messed me up with no sweating on my right side at all and am very cautious of sunlight on my affected area because I can feel it burning more my nerves are wacky and I'm either too cold or too hot I sweat on my other side more because of the sympathectomy be careful I wish you well on you shots they did nothing for me at all, I wish I could have trigger points but all my trigger points are affected with RSD so no good it would be too painful so that was ruled out for me as well as my shots in my spine which did no good I prayed they would help me I wished so hard for relief.
Diana good luck to you it is a rough road we travel with RSD and TOS and through in a sympathectomy if you study it is a whole can of worms there I have pain 24-7 and at times as you know which one is hurting the most right I pray for ya.
I hope you can apply for ssi which is different than ssdi talk to lawyers who deal with only that (ssdi and ssi) they can help you good luck and things will be ok again if you need to talk about things I have had the sympathectomy also.
