I have been having a rough time. I have rsd in my left hand, which has spread quite quickly up near my shoulder. My pain has been persistent, with very little help from meds. and pm treatments. And, because of the pain, stiffness, etc, I can't/don't use my left hand for anything other than stretching and therapy in order to minimize flares and gain my ROM, etc.. So, I consider myself in a way disabled. Do you? Let me know your thoughts.
