I hate the summers now too. Have for a few years. I hurt more in the summer then the winter. I can't get out and take walks due to the heat. I don't in the winter for fear of falling so the walks have gone completely. I do have a treadmill but have trouble using it as much as I'd like.

Our weather has still been cool. Lots of rain and some humidity. Not as much as Carrie has to contend with back her way. Being from Ky. I know how high the humidity gets down her way. As soon as it starts hitting 100, I will be screaming in pain. I will stay in a lot this summer.

As far as how my arm looks. It looks normal. My fingers are very thin. They have shrunk in size since getting the RSD. My hand does change color and stays cold at times. My kids got me a family ring for Christmas and was surprised that a size 7 is too big. I use to wear an 8.
