Hi CZZ74, I'm glad I could help. I can leave the house usually now, although I wasn't able to even dress myself at first. But, the nerve blocks may have repressed a lot it's progression the physician thinks. My arm is stiff on a daily basis and has involuntary movements which are mainly very embarrassing. I try to hold the RSD affected arm down when that occurs with my healthy arm or hide my hand in my pocket lol. The MS diagnosis followed the RSD diagnosis approximately 1.5 after. I do believe that the nerves were damaged from the MS and the physicians nevrer suspected that and operated without any consideration of the possibility of another disease (hypothyroidism being the culprit to nerve injury was their initial belief). My fingernails were also the most embarrassing. When they did regrow, they grew in VERY thick and the arm hair was almost long enough to braid for a while lol. The skin was purpish and now it's just pink . Best of luck to you and I'm sending you well wishes
