After surgery i had feelings of bugs crawling under my skin but the burning had backed off. At 6months PT started resistance exercises & my arm began all over again-burn, ache, turn color and temp, sensative to touch and cold and if it is too humid outside. It was then that they realized i also had RSD before surgery-but i would still have done the surgery to try and relieve the nerve. My pain Dr. said unfortunately it is vicious cycle- the nerve damage will continuously irritate the RSD-he was right because now i have full body CRPS.
Sorry to hear of your injury. It sounds to me like your nerve or the RSD is acting up. momof4

I apologize for not responding but my husband and I have been dealing with his mom who is very sick with cancer, dealing with chemo side effects. We decided and she wanted to come and stay with us. She is coming beginning today. I have been very sad so I haven't had the head or time to post. But yes I have been feeling misreable. I just saw my PM doc just yesterday. We also talked about the PN (Periphal Neuropothy),sorry spelling) which I quess I just kind of ignore most of the time. Just don't want to deal with it. Anyway just as a FYI all my doctors have been so against nerve surgery as he stated it rarely,rarely helps a condition like mine. We wants to try a series of 3 SGB which I had many in the beginning. But he is doing it with ultra sound guidance, which is a first for me, and just wants to try and get it under control that way. I am going to stay as positive as I can.
I will tell you this it is much less humid today finally and I can tell the difference already.
