It's good that you have a good Ortho. that has diagnosed all of these issues and helps you with them. My PCP does that but as far as the Ortho's around here, they do good to diagnose that you were in their office much less what is wrong with you. I do have a good Ortho that did my second rotator cuff surgery and did great but as far as diagnosing other things. I doubt it.

My smartest Drs. that I have had was a hand surgeon that seemed to know about everything, he's retired and my PCP that what he doesn't know, he'll learn. 2 out of over 50. Not bad, huh. LOL

I like my TOS surgeon, he's retired now but he was great with TOS. That was his speciality. I like my hand surgeon I have now. Again though he only has the speciality of knowing hands.

We are very lucky when we find a Dr. that is diversified and willing to learn and willing to help us with anything going on but they sure don't grow on trees.

Having expressed my inciting CRPS event as being surigcally-related to several ortho's I know, the response back was "if the CRPS followed surgery, it more than likely (but not conclusively) was related to a screw-up."

I tend to agree...
