I am thankful that my Dr. found out I had RSD before it got worse, so that hopefully I can recover.
Thanks for the help. I must go now, my arms are had it! Typing is not easy, but I am trying to keep my hands moving and I'm trying to do as much as I can.

If your insurance will cover it, ask your Dr. about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. I have had RSD in my Rt. ankle/leg and my lower spine for almost 5 years now. In September, I did 20 HBOT treatments, and my sensitivity is SOOOOOO much better. The deep, stabbing pains never went away, but the color and temperature are almost normal and my skin can tolerate normal stimuli like shower spray, my covers, and even my pant legs. This is a BIG improvement for me. Since yours was caught so soon, you might get even better results than I did. Lots of people have gone into remission after HBOT. Good luck, and hope you get some relief soon.
