Hi tina,
I have read many stories and have come across a few involving carpel tunnel. First you might look up what carpal tunnel is exactly and what its characteristics are. It might trigger a memory of something that brought it on. You may have had it before the RSD set in and that accually caused the RSD or it may be a secondary effect from the RSD affecting your bones and muscles and nerves in your wrist. This could also be a miss diagnosis and it is acually the RSD not carpal tunnel. I know its another doctor but if they suggest surgery I would deffinately get another opinion first. I don't have RSD, my husband does but I have had problems with carpal tunnel and I had been going to a chiropractor for back and neck problems and when he saw I was protecting my wrist he asked me about it and then proceeded to do an adjustment on my wrist which scared me to death! I was very sceptical but I allowed it. The pain was gone immediately! I haven't had a problem with it since. It has been about 8 years. I am not telling you to do it but you might consider talking to a chiropractor about it. I know it might cause you more discomfort than it did me since you are also dealing with RSD pain. I hope there is something in this post that helps.
Good to see you posting again.
