I'm not worried about the lack of wrist movement because it's fused.
The brace, which my PT calls a corset, brings attention to my arm and blocks air being blown on it which gives me pain...

Jimbo -
At the risk of putting too fine a point on this, the choice may ultimately become one of working with a really good PT in re-mobilizing your hand (I would suggest someone with one of those new post-grad 4-year DPT degrees: I learned their knowledge of neuro-anatomy is incomparable) or being in a position one day of seriously contemplating amputation, where there are significant rates of phantom pain and/or spread of the CRPS to the stump.
I hate being so blunt, but don't see any way around it. I'm sorry.
