Hi,
I agree with Gabby. See an Ortopedic Dr. and/or a hand surgeon.
I had ulner nerve surgery about 6 years ago and have had 2 rotator cuff surgeries, and triggerfinger surgery along with TOS surgery all on my right arm and hand. I first went through PT, and I had a brace for my elbow and I have braces for both right and left hand for CTS and RSD. They were special made for me. I still use my right hand brace every once in awhile due to I believe overuse of my right hand. It gets everything going but when I wear the brace, it seems it gives it time to settle down from over use.
By seeing these speicalist you might find out you have other things going on in that arm besides just the RSD. I had blocks before my surgeries so it kept the RSD from getting worse or coming out in other areas.
Glad you found the forum. You will learn a lot and get a lot of support here.
