[should I be able to do things like housecleaning or play guitar or type with both hands at work]



Are you 100% sure you don't have some sort of RSI or TOS along with the RSD?

If you possibly do have either of those, continuing with guitar & other repetitive, or heavy activities will cause more damage, the meds would just mask the symptoms.


Can you hold your hands in the stick em up position , opening and closing the hands for very long? With no issues?

*I can only do that for less than a minute. My hands turn white and get very uncoordinated. blood flow gets cut off and returns when hands are lowered.
This is normal for a small % of population, but may also indicate some level of
vascular compression.*
