I have RSD and neuro TOS.

They are not the same at all.

RSD is when my skin gets all red and hurts like the worst sunburn and sometimes blisters will come out.

TOS - well, there's a load of symptoms there and I have had my rib out and I don't know a single patient who's been cured, but having the rib out gives the nerves some room when they swell. The main symptoms of TOS are pain, hand pain, loss of use of hand, (see RSD can affect ANY damaged area of body, while TOS is HAND focused), pain at elbow, pain at shoulder, pain behind shoulder blade, pain in neck and painful headaches and fatigue.

So you tell me, did you really NOT have TOS? Do you really JUST have RSD? The docs don't know because they can FEEL what we feel.

If you're work comp you MUST have an attorney. (I was / am one.)

You cannot be forced to have any treatment you feel would be detrimental. It is in the labor code I believe. It's LAW. Don't worry on that one.

The big thing is checking out the TOS board and the RSD boards and deciding what you have or multiple things you have.

God bless.
