Oopsie,
I feel bad now for having this addiction to coffee after reading LIT's post on the aggravating factors caffeine. But happy to say it's the only addiction that I have (that I can talk about anyway). I've managed to cut down though.
By the way, welcome Island-girl.
My CRPS started in my forearm more than my hand but traveled there and I developed a very bad claw so in order to look more normal and help with circulation I had my wrist fused (it was useless anyway). That was one a few surgeries I've had. Now my CRPS has spread slowly into full body but that's not to say it will happen to you. My prayers are that it doesn't.
Be well...
