Welcome!
It might help, but the best news is your catching right away in the first few months. Catching RSD early is when there is the best chances of putting the pain in remission!!!

Thanks all!! You folks helped ease my nervous tension. I really, really love that I came across this board!! I will keep ya all posted to what happens!! I will tell ya a little about myself. I am married(the same dude(LOL) for 32 yrs. 2 grown sons, (Both married) the youngest has two children, boy and girl 2 ys. and 4 1/2 yrs.) and the oldest son has a 9 month old baby boy. My husband and I have legal custody of a little girl who will be 7 yrs. old in May(we have had legal cusdody of her, since she was 2 months old) we love them all! My husband was in Vietnam for 3 yrs. and is a very good devoted husband and father. he hates seeing me in pain all the time!! I just thank God, I found a good Dr. who actually put a name.. RSD on this pain. thanks again!! Desi

Thank you so much, Lil! I am so verry blessed to have found you all and know that I am not crazy! LOL anyway, I never even heard of RSD until I had my carpal tunnal surgery done Jan. 9th. 2007. the pain, and swelling never went away, and now, it's all up in my shoulder!! the Dr. wants to do two more blocks after this one. (I think 14 days apart?? or is it 7?? I'm so nervous... I forgot!! LOL thanks again, Lil!! Desi
