Hi all. I am a 50-year old female who has been dealing with CRPS II in my left arm since I had ulnar nerve surgery (moved the nerve) one year ago. This surgery resulted in a second compression on the nerve and the beginning of RSD (CRPS II). I had a second surgery six months ago to relieve the second compression.

I have been doing months of OT, PT, meds, etc. but have just learned I need to have a surgery on my right ring finger. It was discovered last week during a routine x-ray that I have a bone tumor in my finger. It was found by accident because the doctor wanted to see if I had bone loss in my left had so he needed to compare. Then he stood there in shock looking at the tumor on my right hand. He said the bone is thinner than an egg shell and that surgery is needed ASAP. I have consulted with a second hand surgeon and he said the same thing.

I am so scared because I don't want this miserable condition to spread. What can I do to help myself? I am so scared.
