I don't know how to really describe the sensation. The best I can do is tingly, but dead. I have RSD in my left foot and when I touch my toes, they feel dead, but still tingly. Also, once I let go, it still feels like I'm touching it for awhile. It is the strangest feeling. I've tried to describe it to my boyfriend and he looks at me funny. Does anyone have a similar sensation?

HI..Lazy1....

I understand what you mean..... my hand was much the same way...

And do I know what you mean about "PAIN WITH MEMORY".. I would have a doctor touch my hand and I could tell you the next day, where and how he touched my hand... I mean in the exact order he touched it... like which finger hit it first......

My hand now... does not hurt as much, unless it is touched.... oh it still hurts..... but nothing like it use too...

the Pain memory is still there.....

I can not stand, anything touching it... the wind... rain.. it feels like a cigarette being put out on it....

it now longer tingles..... just like a bad sunburn now......

any way....

you know Im so glad someone understands that "pain with memory" sometimes you think your crazy Im glad Im not crazy alone...

my friend who has sever RSD and I talk all the time and we always say the same like the finger prints were left..

Pain with memory - That's a good term. My RSD is in my foot and I cannot stand to wear tight shoes. I can't handle anyone touching my toes.

HI... yep I understand .... my right hand is that way..... NO one touches it.......

yep same here i dont like to be touched
