I am just really starting to have this problem. I have RSD (since feb 09) in my hand/arm/shoulder now. I can handle some touch but showers hurt and air hurts(?) I would think that touch would also...that normal? Someone touching my arm just feels like sandpaper.

Right now I am under alot of stress and my hand is so swollen and stuck in a fist. I have to physically open it with my other hand. This has been happening lately but then swelling will go down and I will be able to use it again. ? It is always swollen to a degree.

I love soft sweatshirts and i have a really softblanket that is like a velour on one side and a soft sheepskin on the other. I find that I have been pulling my hand up into my sleeves because of the air and cold. Wish Ugg made gloves as comfortable as their boots. I also love my moist heating pad.
