"up Date... scared, kinda"...
 

Hi all! ok, I went to the hand/ wrist specialist. What a wonderful fun loving down to "Earth guy" he is!! anyway, I was hoping deep inside, that he would say, I don't have RSD! Friends, he held both of my hands, wrists. touched them, felt the ice cold right hand.. came out and VERY BLUNTLY said:"Your shot"! It has spread to my upper shoulder . He wants to send me to a new pain specialist that he said is good. He wants to paralze my entire hand, wrist arm and shoulder. He said he will do this as long as it takes to keep the nerves inline. by him doing this procedure, he said the nerves can "rest("Sleep") wow! hope!!!! He said his last procedure would be surgery to fuse my nerves, ligaments, blood flow.. is to fuse them(He said it's done something like when you fuse a stero wire together) I am excited and scared at the same time. Well, this is my story for today. Thanks for reading this far.. LOL :p Love, Desi oh, P.S. I meet with the pain Dr. June 26th. It took me around 2 months to see the Dr. I went to today. It was worth the "wait"!:)

Hugs, keep us informed.

It was so good to read that your new Dr. not only knew what you had, but offered some ideas as what may help:) and that he has a personality:D who could ask for anything more--besides a cure!!! Take Care Carose

Hi Desi,
 

I had a great hand/wrist specialist that knew exactly what I had and helped me get the help I needed for the RSD. He retired but I will never forget how good that guy was. I think some other types of Drs. are more up on RSD then a lot of PM Drs. The hand Dr. I have now is the same way. He is very up on RSD.

I am glad you found a Dr. that is up on it enough to at least get it diagnosed and where it's all at and get you the help you need. I sure hope it all goes good for you.

Ada
