Every time I get an injury, RSD goes there. Spilled some hot spaghetti sauce on my good hand back in December, and now have RSD in that hand.

I don't even get a blood draw unless it is absolutely needed.

The RSD pain doc I saw at Clev. Clinic told me that some people RSD stays put and never moves. Others, it moves with any injury. She told me I am one who gets it with injury --- so live my life very carefully and don't get ANYTHING done unless I have to.

I even have a service dog now to help steady my walking - I am so afraid of falling and giving the RSD another place to move to.

I would not want to have any surgery unless it was needed to save my life at this point. Even the pain of a mammogram scares me to death.
