Also got RSD from IV
Yes, I too got Rsd in my right hand, wrist and arm from an IVpush. Nurse knew nothing about RSD. She should never have put the IV in my hand. The DR. said you should stay away from hands and feet of rSD patients. Unfortunately, he didn't inform her of my condition. Within minutes I was in pain and it continued to get worse. Now I have constant pain in this limb and it affects typing, driving, etc.
I have had multiple medical conditions caused by DR.s However, I have never sued and never will - too many repercusions as you will find out. In fact all of my RSD and FM are caused by Dr. procedures.
I too am scared of blood draws as I have severe allodynia and hyperalgesia. Just anything invasive and non invasive is scarey.
Best of luck to you. Sorry this happened to you. Beware of needles in hands and feet if you have rsd - especially an IV push.
