Thank you for your response. This has been a very frustrating few years. When I woke up from my neck surgery with the pain now in my other arm, I couldn't believe it. And its just gotten worse. I am so lethargic, and pain everywhere, stabbing and deep achy pain. Until about 2 months ago I was walking 2 miles a day, and I tend to eat a pretty balanced diet for the most part. Of course, I could make some improvements.

I do take gabapentin, nortriptyline, and have tried lyrica. I feel like they help just a little, not as much as I would like. But I do take pain meds also, and have taken these for about 12 years due to my neck issues and now due to all of this other stuff. So most of the time its tolerable, but this latest incident since Xmas feels different. And I do take magnesium, b vitamins besides my normal vitamins, fish oil. Also I was diagnosed with hypothroidism, although I am not overweight. I feel like I was in pretty good health until the last few years.

I am at the point where I might go back to the surgeon who did my 3 shoulder surgeries. Maybe he will have an idea, and it might make him feel better that whatever was wrong with my right arm is now happening to my left arm. He felt really bad he couldn't make the right arm better. We developed a pretty good relationship after 3 years together!

Thanks
