[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2033691, member: 196960"] I got told recently to not cradle my extremely painful upper arm due to the trapped nerve in my neck. OK after Amitripyline through the night and ibuprofen rub all over neck and arm I could move it with hugely less pain but 2 months of exercising and heavy usage due to being my right arm/hand it still makes me cry without sporadic Amitripyline and my normal dihydrocodeine plus paracetamol. GP was right but at the time you question whether he's correct. I just wanted to cuddle my arm in cotton wool and hope for the best. Crying as I went. It was more painful than childbirth. I felt so vunerable and desperate. I would have tried anything to relieve it. I think my GP approached it correctly. I can move it now but still not over my head on bad days. I wonder why bad days occur. I did everything text book quality. Ive found my nerves are very vunerable in the heat or cold. No arthritis just diabetes. Problems even in good numbers for my glucose. Luckily I can see a light as t the end of my tunnel. Bariatric surgery due to severe obesity. [/QUOTE]
