You didn't mention how long ago the injections were but if they were fairly recent it might have been related to that. Just a thought. I also have a lot of heaviness in my arms (RSD is in both) but never to the extent that I couldn't move them. I do have to have help with anything that requires me lifting my hands overhead (washing my hair, etc.) I hope your apt goes well and you get all of your questions answered completely.
