Well we are all different but for me this would be a no because I can't have a finger on my rsd area so this would not be for me and why I did not try even a tens unit. If you are able to handle more touching I would ask how many people they see with rsd. It says they deal with pain but what I have noticed even from the PN board I go on is some pains are able to tolerate more massage or touching where I feel rsd does not.
