In 1991 crushed my hand. I had pain, color changes & temperature changes since. But I worked & went on with life. But in 2006 I had carpal tunnel surgery & a ligament repair. Immediately following surgery I had pain up my arm into my shoulder. I thought it was surgery pain & would go away. It never did. It has just gotten worse. It took several doctors & 10 months for me to get a diagnosis of RSD & it was actually my primary doctor that made the diagnosis after seeing several specialists. After his diagnosis all the neurologists & PM docs I have seen since have all agreed CRPS type II because I have nerve damage from the 1991 injury. I hope you find the right doctors & get the correct diagnosis & the help you need.
Have a low pain day,
Denny
