Dealingwithtos, I am sorry your doctor is making you doubt yourself. Let them run their tests. Then they will see that you were right & they were wrong. My doctor has never said to me that RSD doesnt spread that way. He actually will ask me where the pain has been the worst. Right arm & shoulder ( where it started (fyi), back, left arm or right hip buttock). The worst part now is my right shoulder & my back. Its surpassed my right hand which is the sight of the original injury. I have CRPS Type II. I had a severe right hand crush injury. I told you I think they redamaged a nerve in my neck during the trial. They found it during a nerve conduction study. I kept telling them I had pain & numbness down myleft arm. MY PM doc didnt belive me my Primary did. The PM doc did the study & couldnt argue anymore with his own findings. He felt so bad. He knew exactly what had happened. Hang in there. You will be proven correct. You know your own body better than anyone. Take care.
Hugs, Denny
