Default My hand where RSD started has been itching

My hand where RSD started has been itching. Has anyone else had this happen? Hope this is a good sign, just wishful thinking I'm sure. Is still a little swollen, have had no sweating since last week. Also still stiff in the morning but is fine the rest of the day. I was able to use a potato peeler for the first time this week as well as cut potatoes with a knife by using left hand to help. First time in 2 1/2months.

Hi murgir

Well it certainly sounds hopeful, and any reduction in pain and improvement in movement is always a good thing! Ive had some itching on my hand (newly affected) but I hadn't connected it with anything particular - the skin went quite dry and itched, and I moisturized it a lot. It hasn't been as stiff and painful the last couple of days to be fair, but as every other cripsy bit of me has been going mental I'd not stopped and thought about it. Hmm.

Thanks. I really need to take my own advice and start my pain diary again lol!

Have a good day however you can, and I hope that improvement continues for you.

Bram.

I get so itchy on my CRPS leg at times it just about drives me through the roof. I don't know if it's possibly the nerves trying to heal or what but it feels like a colony of ants doing a flash mob up and down my leg. Good luck.
