Hi Pip, I just saw the doctor today for what sounds like what you are experincing(SP. Brain turned off). He had a series of x-rays shot and told me that he believes that the shoulder/neck problem is due to weakness caused by the RSD. I also "guard" my arm and that puts additional stresses on that area. He does think that it is RSD related. The plan of action right now is to undergo an injection into several of the cervical nerves for diagnostic purposes. If they provide any relief I will have another series of injections that may possibly help for a year or longer.

If this does not work, I am seriously considering getting a LEGO arm that I can just take off and hang in the closet when the shoulder is acting up.

Good luck and prayers, Lisa
