As simple as that sounds its so effect!
Marla, we accidently found that pressure point while I was massaging my Husbands hand an few weeks ago! of ocurse I never thought of asking him to try it on me...lol. I get alot of burning pads there on my hands , again , from RSD so we applied my numbing gel, which helps alot with burning and set up to apply the pressure- it did help. at first it actually made the pain sharpen in my back. But then it began to relax. The swelling and burning is still there but alot ot the tension in the back released which is a big deal. I cant thank you enough . Also I was so surprised to see just how much pain and tension was in my left thumb /hand pad. Although there was soreness after- it was the good kind - if you know what imean. Seriously this helped alot- why does it help? I will be reading up online about the "acupressure". Thank you so much- anything else you have to help would be greatly appreciated- do you have a daily routime? streching, accupressure?? Please let me knwo if you feel up to it. Sicnerely, CZ

There are several places on your body that are pressure points that you can gently place your first two fingers on to help relieve the pain and help relax you. The best place I have found is the outer part of your left hand, where if you were/are left handed, that part that rests on the paper when you write....on the fatty part there, place your fore-finger and your middle finger there and gently apply pressure. I should say before you start this to sit in a comfortable chair or bed, close your eyes, do those same breathing methods as before, then gently apply pressure on the fatty part of your hand, hold it there and concentrate on your breathing and let your body totally relax.
You should feel some nice sensation in the area where the most painful area is, if it isn't as helpful as you need, take your fingers off then and re-apply with a little more pressure and then gently move in small circles until you feel totally relaxed and your pain has eased up enough for you to continue on with your day or to get a good nights sleep.
Give that a try and see how that works for you and let me know.
Much Love, Peace & Many Blessings to You!
Marla
