Thanks Sally. I am not convinced it's RSD. Not everything fits. I am sticking with early frozen shoulder and pinched nerve complications.

PT sucks. But I will get through it. Baby steps! Lots of heat.

All Taffers can say is "Whut the "F"?"

Oh FG....you would laugh hearing me say that in person.

Let's just say you have FS. It will be way easier to fix.

As always....

What is happening with PT? What is he/she having you do or doing to you?

Cheryl, how's the shoulder today? I am praying it's frozen shoulder and healed for you and not yet another disease to deal with.

Hi Cheryl,

So sorry to hear that you could possibly have RSD! I really hope you get some much-needed answers real soon and I am keeping you in my thouhts and prayers!!

As you probably already know, I have RSD/CRPS in my left leg and right arm. I developed it when I was 12 years old after an ankle sprain and I am now 14. Some of the symptoms you have described sound a LOT like RSD although some of them don't. I was told by my Pain Management Doctor that you have to have at least 5 of the symptoms of RSD to get officially diagnosed with it. It was pretty easy for my Doctor to diagnose me as I have nearly all of the symptoms and he said my case was "textbook"!

Have you seen a Pain Management Doctor? I think you said you did but can't remember, sorry! They can really help and usually are the doctors that diagnose RSD and treat it. If it is RSD, it is extremely important that you are diagnosed and start treatment really soon - my PM Doctor told me that the best chance of reaching remission is if it is diagnosed within 3 months!

Please continue reading the RSD forum and feel free to post any questions you may have ... everyone there is SO nice and friendly and I am sure they will be more than happy to help you if they can! If I can help you also, please let me know!

Thinking about you and please keep us updated when you can!

The Pain Management doc called me this morning. He wanted to do a nerve block of the sympathetic nerve plexus that is affecting my shoulder. I agreed. He referred to what I am experiencing as "causalgia." When I went into the Surgicenter he explained it more and is treating me as if it's RSD/CRPS/causalgia.

It's unknown cause, but basically right now he is treating the pain. He said he was going to inject the sympathetic nerve plexus in my neck with an anesthetic and steroid to block the pain that is going to my shoulder area.

We shall see.

Sally...Versed. Better than percocet!

I am glad everything is moving forward. Let us know if the "block" works.
