Tami, Thank you very much for your reply!!  I went to rsd specialist Friday and my Questions were answered. My RSD is going haywire and just cause I have developed carpal tunnel, she says I protect my right arm and over use my left. So I damaged my median nerve on the other hand. Plus my xrays showed I have a bulging disc in my neck.I was thinking about all this and it seems like when people get this rsd, then as time comes what ever has happened to someone in the past,like car wrecks, broke there bones or whatever. Seems like the rsd causes those problems to aggravate things that has happened in the past.Mite sound strange but something to think about. There is one thing my specialist was smart about was she says we will never perform ANY surgeries for nothing if we can get by with that, at least she knows what shes talking about. Thank GOD I have found a doctor who knows how one feels and suffers with this terrible disease. And once again Thank you very much for responding.May God bless us all!!       Tina
