im sorry you have this disorder. each day is different often, its a struggle. yes count your blesings 10 wonderful grandchildren are a good distraction! i have abdominal rsd from surgeries i had. i ave been sick for 5 years but just got diagnosed 5 months ago. work with your doctor to keep on top of your pain. i havent found anything to help with the aswelling. prednisone helps keep it in check but doesnt take it away.
blessings
