Thanks for the name. I'm receiving recommendations for doctors all over the U.S., just not sure what to do, who to pick. Then I would need PT, I'm sure.

What can you tell me about Dr. Donahue?

Then you have another problem. To me it sounds like RSD or sympathetic maintained pain syndrome. You can look that up.

I am a nurse with tos so I have been round the block couple of times.....I have sympathetic maintained pain syndrome which made me feel like I was just crazy...doctors treated me bad too....they just are ignorant and do not know about pain syndromes,,,...anyway,hope this helps...good luck
Can you share why you think I don't have TOS? I have symptoms of it, symptoms that many others in this forum have, and also on other social media sites. Just curious why you think I've come up with a regional pain syndrome without any prior injury. Thanks!

Hi there. I didn't read your story thoroughly, but what I could already see is that your case is complex. I strongly suggest going to Cleveland Clinic. I had very complex presentation of symptoms that nobody could really figure out in Montana. I got answers and treatment at Cleveland Clinic (the main one in Cleveland) and I have been very impressed with their excellent care. You need doctors that have seen a lot of weird, complex stuff. They have seen it all, and they coordinate your care with all of the necessary speciality depts. Good Luck!

Thanks for replying.
I would think my case would be less complex because it started a short while ago. I don't have any numbness or tingling sensations.
When you traveled to Cleveland, did you have to go more than once? Where did you stay? Who was your doctor? Thanks
