I had TOS surgery that brought on the RSD and had 3 blocks later on that seemed to have put it in remission, then had rotator cuff surgery and that brought it back out again.

When something like your accident happens, if you could go to the hospital and have a block while they do the stitches or have the Dr. to do some lidocaine injections in that area it might keep the RSD from going to that area.

I have had many surgeries and they have done blocks or infusions to try and keep the RSD from spreading to that area and so far it has worked. When I didn't get blocks, it spread.
