I know that spreads can be disheartening and also depressing. I felt like I just mastered my arm when bam...spread. I feel for you and hope that you can get help with it soon. Make sure to start your desensitization routine and pt/ot asap. The sooner the better. I put compression bandages on as soon as I know I spread and it desensitizes me so well the only place I am hypersensitive is where they don't cover. It hurts a lot at first for a couple weeks and then I found it gave me freedom...to wear clothes I want...to have someone touch my arm...still can't have them pat me but light touch doesn't send me through the roof. Know that you are cared for....everyone who has spread feels for you i am sure. There is still hope....it takes adjustment but it will happen if you try.
lots of love and positive thoughts your way,
