Thanks, Mark and Beth (sorry you had to type so much, Beth!) I don't think it's RSD...I did a little reading on it this evening, and I don't think I have enough of the diagnostic criteria. I think it's just plain old TOS and/or BP injury (as of now!); the atrophy is probably because I don't use that arm as much as the other one. I appreciate hearing your story, Beth...you've been through a lot!

But I am going to take all your advice and give things a rest and see if I can get the pain under better control. I do think I've been pushing too much...and I don't want to bring RSD on by keeping the pain levels so high.

Thanks again...it's nice to know you guys are here, and understand! I'm so sorry you all are dealing with this, though!
