Well let me start that my hubby has been DX with RSD following a failed Rotator Cuff Surgery and has been receiving Stellate Ganglion Blocks. One then a month passes and now two a week for three weeks. He is NOT ammused.He has had five of the seven so far.

Now last night he noticed he was bleeding under the skin of the affected arm. He had to think what he had done to cause it. Seems he hit the chest of drawers while walking past earlier, not a hard hit he barely felt it.

Today he has another very small spot of a like manner, however no known cause.

He has never been one to bruise (if you don't count this last shoulder surgery that failed and started the RSD) And it isn't a black and blue bruise either. It is blood yoou can see just under the skin but isn't raised.

My question is: Is this related to the RSD, is it common, is this a precurser to the lesions I see of other RSD'ers?

Anyone? Ideas?

Hubby has never been a good patient but he is more surlley than ever. I think one or the other of us needs to see a psyciatrist for xanax or something.
