Hi Steve - I had a 2nd surgery which exacerbated my RSD - intensive use of ice and aggressive PT were just the icing on the cake. I was diagnosed by my surgeon about 6 weeks after the procedure.
I knew something was STILL wrong with me (the first surgery had failed to fix the problem) within days.
Gabbycakes saw an excellent RSD doctor in NYC at the Hospital for Special Surgery. If you live in South Jersey, I would highly recommend Dr. Getson of Marlton. A really good, experienced RSD doc can help you the best at this point.
The best of luck to you. Sandy

Who here has also suffered second traumas subsequent to developing RSD, and
what happened? Thanks.
