Hi Lori Lee,

Yes, I have heard of RSD following surgery due to anethesia or lack therof. It was on this forum. My RSD followed surgery,next day arm swelled up and then frozen shoulder. Wasn't diagnosed for 4=5 years. Moved to the opposite shoulder-frozen. Then back to left hand. Have full body now 12 years. Have no idea what went wrong, just know the surgeon passed me off to a rehab Dr. for pt. Let us know what you find out. Take care. and please stay we touch -we all care. Loretta Jewell
