Sensitivity to cold weather (or even air conditioning) is very normal with RSD. I've always lived in Illinois so even though I never really liked the cold weather I was used to it during the winter. Now...anytime I am somewhere where the temp is less than 70 it aggravates my pain.

Is your husband on any medications that might be responsible for the bleeding under the skin? Even if you have to go to a general practitioner he should probably see someone just to check it out, as it may not be related to the RSD.

Good luck with your shoulder surgery.

He is only taking Vit-C, metaxalone (muscle relaxer), and norco. He has been having Stellate Ganglion Blocks and Lumbar ESI. We did ask if the injections would cause the bruise and Dr said no. The bruise looks like he is an elderly person with the thin skin that bruises easly even though he isn't nor has he ever been. He sees another Dr Monday and I will ask him. But yes they do look just like the bruises he has had from the IV's. Now if I can get it thru the nurses heads that Blood Pressure cuffs and IV"s DO NOT go on his left side ever, also ICE isn't going to happen so back off!

Now I have a month to teach hubby how to dry and straighten my hair

Thanks for taking your time to reply and may you have if not pain free at least less painful days
