Injections on affected limbs
Hi, can anyone give me information on getting injections in RSD affected limbs. I now have RSD in my left wrist, right shoulder,and left ankle. Getting anything done on my left arm is not going to happen because it affects my whole arm, from my closed hand right up to the upper part of my arm, however on my right shoulder, it is more centralized from the base of my neck down past my shoulder a bit. Does anyone know if having needles on that arm would be ok or not. I must have blood work done and I am not sure if it would be a risk. I have heard it is ok ---to----- don't do it , NO needles in any limb that is affected. (I now have RSD 5-1/2 years, but it only was diagnosed as full body last Dec. and until now I didn't have this problem come up where I may need blood work or injections other then the nerve blocks.) If anyone can help me decide if I should do this I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance!
Terri
