Dear Donna, I have had RSD in my right hand arm also,since 1998.I found aquatherapy,

from the pain and could do more,such as travel,which was unthinkable at the beginning.
I had to get a lawyer (on contingency) in order to get SSD.One judge turned me down.
The next judge believed me.It took five long years,but I wasn't going anywhere so I never
gave up.God Bless You,I wrote to tell you it got easier for me as time went on,I thank God
and all who prayed for me. kpain46
