It was an occupational therapist specializing in hand therapy that I saw. My symptoms were in my thumb, the rest of my hand, and forearm. She used modalities like heat, contrast baths (alternating submerging area in cold and hot water), massage, passive stretching, and passive and active range of motion exercises that I did at home. Since it resulted from surgery, it remained in just that one area.

I should add that most of the hand therapy was geared toward muscle contractures. What helped eventually with the pain was amitriptyline (also the therapist's suggestion). I hope you get relief soon if you do have RSD. That pain is awful. I had to wear short sleeves through the winter because it hurt so much for anything to touch my skin.
