hello everyone..
I to have this horrible disease, I got into a car accident 8 months ago, did all the tests for TOS and were neg., Seen a surgion about bracial plexis compression, which is what we thought it was. As all of this was going on my PT noticed my left hand sweating all the time and brought up RSD. My pm doc dismissed it, as he did not think that is what it was. In the mean time the pain in my whole upper left extremity has gotten worse. I went for an IME for the insurance company and guess what? He had no question that it was RSD. The doc who is for the insurance company, was on my side. I have had 3 SG nerve blocks, first one lasted 3 days, it was wonderful, needless to say the next 2 did nothing. I have gotten super bad headaches since these blocks, which the doc says is stress, I do not buy that for a minute, I had the same stress before the blocks. I am on tons of med's, I know my liver loves that. lots of depression. I am looking for anyone with any advice, or who just wants to chat about RSD, as lots of people do not have a clue what we are going through.
thanks for listening
