I have found that Target carries these ultra soft and light tights that are sold rolled up for 5 dollars. Since I have to dress up for work I find those are helpful and I wear shoes that don't have tops so my sensitive spot on my RSD foot isn't being agitated

I have RSD bilaterally on both hands, wrists and arms. I also have it on my incision sites of my SCS, neck, mid back, & lower back. Now it's spreading onto my right shoulder as well. I have found that jersey sheets by northern nights are the best. I have to have very soft fabrics in order to sleep or even to wear. I found a pillow that is the best ever too and its by Soft tex.

Anyone trying paraffin be very careful and go slowly! Even in the first 6 or so months post RSD onset, my temperature regulation was too dysfunctional to tolerate this in PT. It felt like a severe burn and caused an increase in color changes for days afterward.

Moving it in warm water is the least painful way for me. If you can't get to warm warm PT, try doing hand exercises in a bath with Epsom Salts! Wash a few dishes if you're able. Paint your finger nails. (It doesn't matter if you take it all right back off, the point is movement.) I still drop things constantly and have major dysfunction, but I do small things, for short periods of time, and it does help! |

@Ali12 ,
When you say that your doctor made you a RSD Survival Pack, what all did he include? I'm wondering because I need help. It's been hard to deal with and because of my age; 14- no one knows what would work best. I have medicine, but not like ideas to help make the pain easier to deal with. Thanks a ton and I appreciate it. (: |

I tell every one I can do everything I use to do just slower and with coushins!
the right pillows on a trip are VERY important. The vibrations of the road can be an issue for me Quote:

Keep trying different things. Something will work today that will not work tomorrow and so on. Accupuncture worked 3 times for temperary relief. Then the fourth it sent me and the pain through the roof. The hot wax and epson soaks help. Nothing will make it go away but you can eventually figure out what it takes to live with it. Fighting it and grabbing your boot straps and dealing with it like a fighter is a big NONO.. Relaxing and accepting that you have an health issue allows you to figure out the ways you need to deal with your RSD
