By day's end it's tough. I am beginning to look into the TOS, of course, I've just begun the RSD stuff too, so it's a bit overwhelming...that plus being in the midst of changing insurance companies...will have to post that question elsewhere.
I hadn't looked at the vascular TOS, my physiatrist had mentioned the posibility of a vascular study???
Froggie had asked about work...I'm a teacher...I've had to stop using the white board, and use only the overhead--which is okay except my overhead is older than time and gets so hot that it causes my hand to swell pretty quick.
Nice part of my job is that I have some control over my day, so it helps.

Thanks so much for all the feedback, it is nice to not be alone in this. I mean my husband is trying to understand, but can he really?

today the blessing I count is the new support I've found here!

i have rsd in my leg.. but recently i have been getting the same feeling in my left arm and it's driving me nuts!! i'm on lyrica right now (maxium dose that my doctor will prescribe) and it's not helping at all. he doesn't know about my arm yet, so i'm anxious to see what he'll say next tuesday. they just thought it was carpal tunnel but i had an EMG done and the test came back normal... so i'm guessing that means the rsd is in my arm now??

Hello there,

I have been meaning to answer this post for quite some time... I was just wondering if, since you describe the feeling in your arm not so much pain, but wanting to hit it, and it is driving you nuts... if you could possibly have restless leg syndrome? My mom had RLS, and she had it in both legs and one of her arms. She described it as driving her up the wall and wanting to hit it, etc... just like you.

Just a thought... as I know it can affect your arms.
