You're not the only one. I have RSD in my left hand/wrist, and my hand is discolored, shiny, swollen, and painful. Oh and sorta deformed. Most of the burning, scraping pain is in my thumb area, but the other fingers are very painful as well. They had to remove the nerves in my wrist, plus I've had it for over 5 years, so it varies how bad the burning is. It's extremely sensitive to the sun. I had to have my wedding ring sized for my right hand because I have been unable to wear it on the left hand since onset.
