Denise-
Is the work comp for the RSD only?
or did you have a injury at work that brought it on?
we also have a work comp forum if that might be of help.

Hi jo55 (Hope I'm doing this right!)
When I was injured at work it caused a RCT, stretched/torn ulnar nerve, severe sprain of my wrist (all on the right side), and a slight buldging disc in my neck which is causing neck pain and sometimes SEVERE headaches. No one diagnosed me for so long. Then, my left hand and arm began to hurt and turn colors also and I was told I developed CRPS II (and possibly TOS).
I also would like to know if anyone else has worse pain at night on a regular basis. I mean, the very WORST thing for me is to have cool air blow on my right arm or neck anytime day or night. I usually go into horrible pain then. But then, even on days when my pain is "calmer" and bearable, as soon as I get into bed (almost) the pain in both arms and hands worsens. Maybe this is due to the RCT on the right shoulder and now I'm having problems with left shoulder too since I lift everything and drive with my left hand.
No doctor answers me when I ask if this is the RSD or not.
I'm so glad to fing this site! I haven't had ANYONE who has this to talk to or ask questions to "compare".
