Keeping this short as poss typing one handed, and sorry for spelling etc for the same.
I feel like my arm is is hell !!
I am in desperate need of advice because I am too depressed and on what feels my last leg.
Had nerve block before total shoulder replacement on feb 12, which I firmly believe was the root of my prob due to one particularly terrible sensations I was feeling at the time of the procedure.
3 days later I go home and start to feel this fire in the whole inside of my forearm that is still hurting just as bad today, mar 15.
Been complaining to my surg and my pain management dr, but not rly seen for an proper evaluation to date. They proceed to tell me I need to come down next friday for some kind of nerve block, and keep taking hydrocodone, which I have done under dr supervision for many years, but I have an appt with an actual neurologist a cpl weeks later on the 9th.
I am so damn scared now suddenly, of more nerve blocks. I am litterally having suicidal thoughts on a daily basis, and I can,t rem things like usual after surgeries for me, but not this long.
So, if anyone has an opinion about whether you would wait to be seen by a neurologist, or go try a nerve block that I have read don,t usually work, I would greatly appreciate it.
I,m on here for a while, because I can nvr sleep good now, so any advice asap is welcome and needed.
Thx a lot
