Thank you! My biggest pain right now is from moving my arm up or away. My pain level will go from a 2 to a 10 very quickly. It's like a very painful spasm. I can squeeze it and move it closer to my body and it will ease up. It burns most of the time like a sunburn. Does this sound familiar, like symptoms of RSD? I'm having an MRI and more nerve test Wednesday. Will that give my dr an indication of RSD? Wht should I look for? I had one nerve test which revealed CTS in both wrist...my neurosurgeon thins I have som nerve sage nd just takes time to heal. The ortho ht gave me the cortisone shot thinks I need surgery to 'clean it out' . Any type of surgery is the very very last thing I will do. He is the one hat asked if I ha been diagnosed with RSD. ??
