Hello Trix

Just wanted you to know I do not think that some problems are caused by not using a limb. I have RSD full body, but started in my left hand and arm. I own a business that requires me to be active and use my hand. It was over a year of very hard work on my part and that of PT before I could pick up a cup of tea. I have dystonia in that hand that I also have to deal with besides pain. It still is wasting away, but at least I can use it now.. I do salt baths every night and work my hand under water. Nerve blocks have helped along with lidoderm patchs when I not in a flare-up. I also belong to an RSD support group, which helps me to understand I am not crazy. But RSD will do crazy things to you. Wishing you gentle hugs and sleepful nights along with less pain.
