Hi and Welcome,
You should be able to post a new thread to introduce yourself. You kind of get lost in here. I am hoping that you did not get CRPS from your run in with the muffin tray. Burns hurt! And all those little afferent nerves in the skin really hurt when they get burned. Nerves can be very fussy, even a low amount of swelling can affect a digital nerve and make it unhappy. Hopefully, you have a fussy nerve that is just telling you it doesn't like any swelling in your hand. Try not to let it dangle down constantly, maybe try some Epsom salts as a soak (dissolve in warm water but soak in kind of cool for swelling), calendula cream is good for burns and crabby skin and 500mg Vit C daily is good for preventing CRPS to some degree. You may just need another week or so for the burn to calm down.
Failing all that, go see you doctor.
sending Healing Love,
Littlepaw
