Apart from having to fight this with no medication I actually think you and a lot of the others are much worse off then I am. So far only hand arm and both legs. Probably shouldn't have said that where's my 36 yards of cotton wool

36 yards of cotton wool? Sounds like a plan.

I managed to drag myself through work today and my mission now is to try to get some sleep.

I hope you have had a relatively low pain day today, well, as low as can be expected. I have to say hand, arm and both legs sounds pretty challenging to me.

Take care.

Kim I had very similar to what ur describing after I broke half a nail off on my cripsy-side hand. It lasted for about a month, and I worried constantly that it was spread or worsening. In the end it wasn't, and from that and other dramas I've had, I've learnt that when you injure yourself anywhere, your system is now on CRPS High Alert, and overreacts to everything. So for a short time you get a lot of cripsy symptoms, but most of the time they do fade with time. The best thing is to...

a) DON'T PANIC
b) take your 500mg vitamin C daily
c) do warm epsom baths daily
d) keep it moving gently
e) DON'T PANIC

Vitamin C! How did I forget vitamin C? Thanks so much for reminding me.
