But I have the constant pain, my swelling isn't constant so much anymore, the palm of my hand sweats really bad, and is very tender to the touch, and its usually really cold compared to my left arm. I've only been diagnosed with RSD since April but have had all these symptoms since the day after my injury happened. But the occupational therapist that I had seen said that I don't have the coloring of RSD.
Sorry to say this, well not really, Iffynah, but the OT you have that said;"You don't have the coloring of RSD"!! Well, he/she is off their "Rocker"!! What color are you supposed to have?? rainbow coloring?? Geezzzzzzzzz... these people that say that, be it OT, MD's, PT, nurses.. or what have you, don't know and are so ignorant of this disese of RSD it makes me ill! mad as heck too!! Take care!~Love, Desi
