Any changes in skin color are important, as is the kinds op pain, does the skin burn or sting; or hurt inside? Does cold affect your RSD? Does heat? Is there more than one degree temperature difference between your affected and contralateral (opposite) limb? Have you noticed any changes in your hair or nails?
I'm a firm believer in early and aggressive intervention, and what you tell us about your signs and symptoms will help us formulate our replies. I know it will help me figure out what to say...Vic

It is definitely the early stages of something as its only been 3 months. My hand gets hot and/or cold at random. When it's really bad, it turns a light shade of blue/purple. My hand gets hot even when my arm is cold, or even the other way around. I have had increased hair growth on my arm. And have also noticed that my nails grow so fast on that hand that I cant keep up with simple filing. My hand does sting and it does burn. Sometimes, it is so sensitive that any blanket or fabric hurts.....
