Dr doing blocks is not his treating dr and i dont think he has much knowledge of RSD.
His surgery was over 6-7 months ago so it isnt like has gained any ROM he has been out of a sling full time for quite awhile.
he sees the back dr tomorrow and i will get with the shoulder dr inthe am
the swelling was more than normal and also in a new area. now with the arm on verge of falling asleep has me concerned that maybe they are doing more harm than good
he is supposed to have the last 2 blocks tuesday and friday. i think a follow up visit is called for even tho he isnt done.
since this is workers comp we dont get the luxery of going to other dr's until we are referred. Otherwise I would just schedule him with a expert in RSD or at least as close as i could find. Grrr
His treating Dr has treated RSD patients though i found out but he is a Orthopedic Surgeon. Think with what is going on he will send hubby to another Dr for the RSD he was trying to stop it so he could do surgery to fix the shoulder and I just dont see that happening.
thank you all for your responses they are most appresciated
