Hey Dabney! Welcome, but sorry for the circumstances. This is a great place for info and support. We all get it!! The good thing is that you were diagnosed early. Your best chance of remission is now! Hope you have found a good pain management doctor to help you. I know they are hard to find, I am in the process of looking for a new one myself. I can tell you who not to see in RVA, but have yet to find the right one to see. If you found a good PM dr, let me know
You have already been given some great advice here, I just want to add one thing - no matter what anyone tells you, DO NOT USE ICE. Ice is the worst thing you can do to RSD/CRPS. It will cause spread.
Wishing you the best,
Nanc
