A newbie with questions
 

Hey guys, I'm Lyza from Australia,b I had RSD 10 years ago for about 4 years after a bike accident, It went into remission until just after a year ago after my right hand was stood on by a cow. So I now have it fingertip to back of the neck in my right hand, toe to hip in my left leg and elbow to back of the shoulder in my left arm.

I havent posted in here before and I would love to go into more detail ione day, but for now i just have a couple of questions which are weighing greatly on my mind.


My first one is about the plexus block, I'm in australia and maybe you guys around the globe might call it something different, has anyone had one and was it of any benefit?

2nd q is.. I think i have fibromyalgia. I really do. Does anyone have RSD and Fibro ? How were you dx'ed and how can you tell the difference ? I'll add more when my headache isnt kicking my tush.

Thank you

Hi welcome to the boards though I am sorry for what you are facing. Have you seen a rheumatologist? They are often seen when one may have fibromyalgia and to rule out other conditions that could have similar symptoms. I know a few people with fibromyalgia and RSD I think some are from the boards so hopefully they will come along. Many with rsd though have multiple conditions like myself I have PN and RSD. I am not familiar with the block name you had. Did you feel any benefit?

What would you attribute to your remission? I just was diagnosed and will try everything possible. That bad bad cow! Darn it anyway!
