I have another question.... regarding Nail changes. I was wondering how long it took everyone to notice nail changes?

I know shortly after my injury (a about 3-4 months) I noticed the my right hand (the hand with CRPS) finger nails were growing at a quicker rate then my left. This lasted a few months.

Then I noticed that the nails growth rate began to slow down. Now the finger nails grow a much slower rate then the left.

About a month and a half ago (about 8 months of having CRPS) I began noticing that my right hand finger nails are developing deeper grooves in them and are becoming brittle and almost feel thicker then the left.

I am guessing the finger nail changes are a slow progressive one. Can anyone suggest anything I can use to keep the nails healthy? or to help with the thickening/grooving? Also what are some of your experiences with the nail changes? (how long did it take/what other things you have noticed etc.)

Take care,
Karen
