Yes, I've often explained over the years that having my left hand try to help is like letting a 2 year old help...they try hard, make a mess, get in the way more than they help, and cry when they hurt themselves. LOL

And, yes, circulation with the RSD and the original injury were already an issue...so makes it hard to tell if the new injury is "causing" more circulation problems. I thankfully kept all my custom-made splints, so used one of those Sunday to keep it protected at church (from others and myself). Unfortunately, the swelling got worse and I couldn't put it back on Monday to go run the computer & sound for a funeral, so I had to quickly improvise. I pulled the metal bar out of one of the useless wrist braces, turned it around so the long part extends to the tips of my fingers while the curved part still goes over the ball of my hand, and taped the pinky and ring finger to it together and taped the rest of the bar to my hand. Sadly, I'm finding any movement in that hand at all is excruciating. Almost made myself sick trying to carefully bend the middle, forefinger, and thumb gently with my other hand...a technique I had to use during rehab after the last surgery, so I know it well. I go to my new doc tomorrow, so I'm really trying to hold out until then so she can order the x-rays. The ER here is a joke, so I don't want them touching it!
