I like that it gets me into a totally new place in my head, where I am focusing intensely on my hands and reading the notes. It also re-connects me to a time in my brain before CRPS since I took piano for a while when I was very young.

Yeah for new, non-pain brain activity!
Good for you! It does help to have something else to totally take my focus. I have a keyboard, and sing along while playing. hahaha Making a joyful noise. I have had RSD in my left foot for six months and am just now being able to put it on the floor for any length of time, so I can play my keyboard and sing again. Glad you brought this up, as it is encouraging me to do it a little bit at a time every day. Progress of any kind encourages me to keep on keepin on.
