Everyone with rsd/crps is careful about avoiding any accidental bumps and rough handling. We learn to be very cautious bc even glancing contact can be painful. But I'd love to hear how you all out there cope with those occasional stubbed toes, bumps and bangs that leave you crying in agony.

What do you do to help with that intense pain? (Besides retreating to the couch and curling up in a ball?)
Anyone have emergency immediate meds they can take? How long does the intense post accident pain last for you?

I seem to be particularly clutsy lately and hope that someone will have some tips for me.
Thanks and Happy RSD/CRPS awareness month!
