hi Kitty, I got RSD from a left hand carpal tunnal surgery almost 8 years ago, it was 6 of 7 nerve surgeries I have hand on both arms...#6 started it and #7 spread it to both arms....well, it spread after the 7th surgery(an ulner nerve transposition) but because of all the nerved damage in my arms it might have spead anyway.When they done surgery #7 they hadnt diagnosed the RSD, they thought it was the trapped ulner nerve in my elbow...so who knows!
