Hello all you lovely friends out there in cyber world
![]() Ok.. I meet with my PMD tomorrow(early morning) I hope he does what my specialist wants him to do! My friend who is a police Captain said to me;"This sounds scarry and risky"! He told me not to have my arm paralized! I asked him, if he kneow about RSD. probably not. Anyway, to me this is kind of exciting and very different. The specialist knew as soon as he seen my hand, wrist and shoulder that I have RSD. I am happy that he is sending me to a pain Dr. that he says is good. That other idiot I had well... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() Best of Luck to you my Friend... In your heart you know that you are doing the right thing... My arm was paralyzed once when I had a brachial plexus block done the kenalog that was used ended up seeping around some of the other nerves because the muscles were spasming so badley and I was unable to move my right arm for about 20 hours. It was very strange not to have any control over your arm at all especially when you are trying to sleep as it just flops everywhere. You can truly have sympathy for a stroke patient if you know what I mean. I do hope that your pain management doc is the best... I can tell you I really like my new guy... They are out there, you just have to find them... Many Hugs ![]() Dawn ![]()

I have never heard of a Dr. paralizing someones arm or hand but apparently it's something new. I hope it works for you. Did you pull it up on the computer and read about it? Sometimes we can find good info about new things they are trying on here.
Like you I have all of the hand, wrist, and shoulder problems on the right side. My left side is the same way too, but not near as bad. The two surgeries that seem to bring out RSD the most is the Thoracic Outlet Surgery and the Carpal Tunnel Surgery. The Thoracic Surgery brought mine out the first time. Since then I have had two rotator cuff surgeries and ulner nerve on the right side. I had blocks for the last three. Now you can ask for blocks from your Surgeon. The Anesteologist at most hospitals will do them now. I still need the CT surgery and the Triggerfinger surgeries but I have been getting triggerpoint shots in my hands to fend them off. That might be something you ask for if your CT starts acting up. They hurt but my last ones have lasted about a year now. I find it hard to find a good Pain Management Dr. There is now one in the Springs that I have several friends going to but I haven't went to him yet. I went to several and finally just ask my family Dr. if he would help me deal with the RSD. I hope this one lives up to your exspectations and can help you. Ada |

HUGS, HUGS, HUGS.
Glad you found someone better than that @$$**** (LOL). I pray you get great help from him and you have an awesome appt. Will your husband be going with you? If you have the block done, he will probably need to drive you home (that is if you drive). Let us know.
