I already suffer from Charcot Marie Tooth CMT and take Methadone for pain. More pain is just not welcome. I know because of the CMT my nerves don't heal all that well, so this is very frightening.
I have read your stories, you are a brave group of people.

I don't know if this is RSD but I have read enough accounts to know it could turn into it quickly or has already caused it.

The nurse ran out of the room pretty quickly & the sharp pain subsided so I thought all was OK, I didn't say anything to anyone. She so treated me with disdain that I figured something happened that had never occurred before. It wasn't until I started searching on the internet did I discover that her actions may have caused RSD & I should have been immediately evaluated. I can't even tell you how angry I am, especially when I read that they are supposed to withdraw the needle if something like this happens. I sent my Dr an email & plan to call him on Monday & only talk to him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will go to Urgent care when they open, thank you for the advice, the pain in my arm is over the top, and reaches 10 levels very quickly. My right hand is very numb, I am very scared as I am the breadwinner of my family & work may prove very difficuly without my right hand. I will update later..
