Hope your isn't / doesn't!
Do you find yourself holding or positioning naturally forward? If you're just sitting down for instance, at rest. Would you just keep that arm in your lap?
Just something to be aware of...

They ruled out carpel tunnel months ago since I do not have any of the common symptoms. The only tingling fingers in my hand are the last two and although my entire hand burns, I dont have any problems with any of my other fingers.
I do not normally sit forward, but I always rest my arm in my lap. It's more out of a defensive move than anything else. I tend to be EXTREMELY protective of my elbow since I still have an enormous amount of pain in that general area. The bruising only recently went away from the accident.
Within the months following the accident I had my neck, shoulder, elbow and hands checked out. The only area that showed a problem was my elbow and the last two fingers.
Is it possible that the RSD diagnosis is completely wrong and that this is something else?
I have the swelling, the temperature and color changes, the nail growth, the (embarrassing) hair growth, the burning, etc, etc. The neuro said that was all textbook.
I may have missed it in previous posts, but what is TOS?
