RSD and breast cancer surgery
 
Hi. Glad to find this site. RSD started in 2005 when fractured wrist and immediately unable to touch wrist and thumb with softest fabric or cast. ER kept re-casting and never able to tolerate. Saw expert Dr. Kirkpatrick who confirmed diagnosis. Regained movement and use of hand after therapy. Then Oct. 1, had breast cancer surgery (lumpectomy and wire placement) which started another episode. Moffitt Cancer Center does not want to treat RSD and Dr. Kirkpatrick no longer takes insurance. Need to know qualified RSD doctors in area and need to know if anyone has experienced similar after breast cancer surgery. Also, whether probability of tolerating radiation and Tamoxifen for a very sensitive person - right now home bound due to cannot tolerate even softest fabric touching area.

Anyone have RSD in breast; how treated?
 
Thanks for the kind offer. I am still awaiting appointment with Neurologist, so I wanted to know if anyone out there had RSD in breast after breast cancer surgery. I cannot wear even the softest t-shirt on it and it is so difficult to stay in the house all the time.
