Welcome to the forum. Sorry you have to be here for this monster. I'm also 34 and have had this for almost 10 yrs. I know the speech you mean. Ive gotten it since mid Nov 2003. Its almost become a disclaimer for drs and pharmacies. Have you tried espom salt soak, and vitamin C 500-100mg a day? Also try to relax and use that arm. I know it hurts but continue using it. Use your leg also. With RSD the old cliche of use it or lose it is real. Also no ice. Only use heat or moist heat. The people on here are very helpful and friendly. They will try their hardest to figure something out. Keep positive, and smiling
