Update:

Still maintaining full motion and haven't had either hand/arm swell up (this is amazing)

good days and not so good, pain wise it's not at the intensity it was so I can now concentrate on tasks

my most interesting realization is that I feel like the RSD process is reversing in almost perfect chronological synergy (mainly talking about pain level)

it's hard to explain but it's like the pain map for my hands/arms is slowly going back in time - the stages I have had where it has got worse and worse are the opposite now, it's getting better and better

got a proper acoustic guitar and the D chord sounds great now I love steel strings

wishing you all well
