Do you think this is a sign that the RSD has moved to my left hand? Have a nice day Pete

Hello Kate!
Nice to know you!
Yes, I think that your rsd might, just might be spreading a bit. It "tends" to do that, but I'm no doctor!
Ask Him/Her!
This 8 hours of our day, is so imperative, and impossible with RSD.!
I can't imagine going back to being "normal".
You sleep "well", and then ya get stiff, by staying in one position.
Last night, I fell asleep with the A/C on, AND the ceiling fan, why?
Because I can get all kinds of "abnormal heat" built up when I try to sleep.
Heck if I know why? I drink ice water, it helps just a bit....
But, I woke up today, like I was in a body cast! My friend was gonna take me food shopping. I couldn't do it! My Arms were in so much pain! (tos).
I had trouble moving at all. You all know what that's like.
Still, he visited, which, I appreciated very much, and I'll do the shopping another day.
Thank God for milk and Cereal!
But Kate,
Maybe you can rub on some Mineral Ice when you wake up?
The BEST thing to do, (and it hurts), is to MOVE the painful parts!
It's "Use it, or Lose it".
I hate to say...
So, wake up, take your meds, and start moving, as best you can!
PM Me,!
Best of wishes to ya,
Pete
