Hi, I've just had an MRI on my shoulders which shows moderate grade subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis and additional tendinitis in the left. I use a manual wheelchair. I've been having physio weekly for 3 months & take NSAIDs daily since 2013. I do regular exercises prescribed by the physio. I guess I'm thinking how things would go if I had shoulder surgery - I'm already looking at power assist wheels. My RSD is in my legs and back after surgeries but so far nothing in my arms, and my fear is that surgery will bring it on, but by the same token this pain is on par than the RSD.

Had anyone has any experience as either a wheelchair user or had their RSD spread to another region after surgery in that area/limb?

Cheers all
Mairi
