Hi Lisa, and Dianne,
This is Jolene.
I have RSD in my right arm and it swells up so bad
sometimes. The only thing I can do is make fun or
light of it, so I call it my "popeye" arm.
I know it sounds stupid, but the pain of RSD is
intense and theres very little to laugh about or even
smile about, so i "ease" it with humor at times.
If you stress out or tense up, the pain becaomes
worse, so try and relax and stay calm, but also keep
the limb as mobile as you can so it doesnt stiffen up.
I move my arm and sqeeze these rubber balls. I flex it
as much as that hurts, but it feels better if I keep
it moving.
So Im here for you all. Anytime. I may not get on the
computer often enough, but my thoughts and prayres and
friendship and compassion is here for you all fulltime
100%.
Take care.
Jolene
