When I was at the pain program there were type of treatments to help desensitize slowly. Like taking different materials to the area. I did a fluidtherapy etc. Talk to your doc cause everyone is different in terms of treatments

My wife has wore a brace for 7 years on her arm. One doc commented that if she had RSD she would not want a brace touching her. Strange really if you think about it. She has a strong need to cover and protect that injured arm at all cost. Doctors have worked with her to get her to lose it but she wont. She is also sensitive to touch on her whole body but the spot of her original injury is always covered and she rests it on a pillow everyday of the year.
