Thank you everyone for your responses, I really appreciate the fact that you are sharing your experiences with me. I am not sure what you mean by ridges but the nails grow at a different rate on both hands. What's bizarre though is last night both hands we burning intensely but not fire if that makes sense. In the exact same places. Both were discolored(one purplish and the other bluish) swollen and hot to the touch. It was just so strange. Does that sound like rsd? I have logged it. Because I am trying to figure out the trend so I can avoid what makes it hurt. Do you think I am in denial?
