I just been told I have Regional Complex Pain Syndrome.  I got shocked from a 240 volt plug that malfuctioned  three times. The comp doc said I have carpel tunnel syndrome.  Never had this kind of pain before I got shocked. I have pain, burning and tinkiling in my left arm, shoulder and it feels ike a rubber ban squeezing the upper part of my arm and radiates to my chest and then I loose my voice. Sure doesn't sound like carpel tunnel to me. So my family doctor says I have the complex syndrome.  This has been going on for over 6 months and getting worst . Ccompesation has stopped my medical benefiits cause they say its carpel tunnel . I've been working all this time except for one week. Don't know how much longer I can do this.

    Hi Don't know how you have managed to work.Even if I could move my foot (which  I need to work) the pain would have made it impossible.You are very brave. My CRPS has been 8 months so far and no sign of an end yet.But thin positive they say it helps.
