I have a similar story, as my RSD started in my foot, went away, and is back - but mine started this time in my shoulder and went across the top of my back, up my neck, into my other shoulder, and is now going down my back. So I have it in the same area, but mine has spread and now includes more area. I replied to Rob on the other forum with a long post.

I am not sure if I am allowed to copy and paste my reply here, or link you to that post or not (as far as posting rules go)

My pain is way up this weekend, or I would try to re-word it here for you.

Perhaps someone who know for sure if I can link you over to that post on the other forum will reply. Some forums don't allow you to do things like that, and a very quick look around here did not really tell me. If I was feeling up to it, I would have looked longer, but typing/mousing is not the easiest for me today.

You have come to the right place, this is the best forum!

Linking to other posts is allowed and also copying your own posts from other sites and adding them here.
It is suggested to not copy the posts of others though.

and this clarifies the linking -
Changes from 9/25/06 version:

- Clarified linking to other sites -- making it clear we're most interested in people not using our community to solicit others to join their community. Links to anything are okay as long as you're not doing it to solicit members to another online community.

Thanks, Jo55....
for that clarification....

so then, here is the link to my other post. I've explained things there that have helped me with the pain I have in that area.

Due to work issues I have not been to the massage therapist for several weeks, and I think that is why I have been feeling so poorly these last two weeks. This weekend has been my worst in a year. Thankfully, I go in the morning... I am sure she will help me !!! She has done more for me than Stellate blocks have.
