Thanks for all the input. The other issues I had was severe swelling in my right foot and lower leg,will include another photo.Once the hand specialist diagnosed me with RSD I have been reading everything I can about the disease.
I do have the shiny like appearance on my fingers of both hands. I have the same symptoms on my left hand just not as severe.Also,my skin feels like rice paper.Every once in awhile I'll get a severe electrical like shock in my hand.The joints in my hand are very stiff,I can open my right hand completely with extreme difficulty but I can't close it into a fist.The nail growth is pretty weird as well,growing much quicker than usual.It is pretty bizarre to get diagnosed with such a strange condition with so many strange symptoms to only start crossing off so many of them in my head.
The hand specialist recommended occupational rehab which I did for three sessions before workers comp denied it saying that it wasn't associated to my fall from work so I've been doing the exercises at home trying to hold this at bay but it seems to be getting just a little bit worse every day.
