Default Hi CRPSbe,

Did you try PT for your arms and hands. Mine started in my arms and hands and back and I had 7 different PT'ers and 4 of them were very good. My last ones was a husband and wife team who had studied in Holland and they are the best around here.

If they know about RSD they can help you. If you get some that don't know about it they can make it worse.

Also I use heating pads a lot and I also use lidocaine patches when needed.
They are prescribed by Drs. They seem to help some people.

Also a lot of people like epsom salts baths. They don't help me but they help some.

I don't think I could inject myself. I was so glad last year when my diabetes test came back ok.

I do hope you find something that helps with your arms and hands too.

Ada
