Mine started as a result as surgery as well in my left arm/hand.

It has been a little over a year since I was diagnosed. Mine also went undiagnosed for a while.

I just turned 40 years old in May. I struggle some times thinking this is what my life will be like now. I have found taking things one day at a time helps the most. I try to not think about how things will be in the future, because it will cause stress and anxiety ( which are both going to make things worse) That is not to say I never let that happen, but I make an effort to not do it.

I also take Cymbalta which helps with both pain and the depression.
