As far as RSD/CRPS/whatever they call it these days, this is what it boiled down to for me:

1) constant gentle movement/ROM
2) massage/desensitization
3) diet change from acidic (inflammatory) to alkaline
4) positive physical environment (Tons of individual ways to boost this - uplifting music, get out in nature, reevaluate and let go of stressful relationships, work environment, etc)
5) positive mental environment change (meditation, visualization, affirmations)
6) antioxidant supplements like vitamin C, NAC, or grape seed extract
7) 50% DMSO applied to the trauma site(s)
8) mirror therapy
9) Service and prayer for others in a worse position than we are
10) following the Heart on the things we still CAN do

Many of these are wayyy easier said than done, of course.
All the best to you whiteaa
