Hi....

I'm a new lurker here after finally getting a RSD dx to go with my TOS. I had a similar run in with the doctor at my local pain clinic who informed me that there was no way I had TOS because my pain is mostly in my neck/shoulder area, not my collarbone. Ummm.....sure

I hope that when you get the chance, you copy an article on RSD/CRPS and mail that to the hospital administrator.

I have no problem when medical say they have to look something up. I'm a nurse myself, and I know I don't know everything, so frequently I had to research a new treatment or drug. But when they try to pass themselves off as an expert in an area where they clearly have no clue......that just makes my blood boil

Have you had any luck with your regular MD figuring out what caused the increase in pain ? And, how did your wife do ?
