Maryann and Reruho, Thank you very much for your comments. The first doctor was a spine/neuro. After reviewing MRI, he quickly sent me to pain managements and said that they would handle it. I chose to see another doctor for my shoulder and he saw the tear in disc on MRI and found another tear on shoulder MRI. PT/neck traction, then I accepted pain management. Reruho, my symtoms match those of RSD but I keep hoping they are not. The reasoning for no shots are it is too late (8mo) and he will not even do shot for disc tear. It may worsen it? That is why they are not doing shoulder surgery. I will suggest to pain management doctor to do other test but it seems life in limbo with no direction to turn. I will check out web sites suggested. Thanks a bunch.
