Grateful for you all.

While counseling may be good for managing anger; not sure how much that can help relieve the pain. I know you don't want any more surgery or pain meds; but have you considered any meds for sleep? Ambien CR Has really helped me have hours of sleep where I am relieved at least for a little while of the otherwise constant pain. With all this pain; adding loss of sleep, might make working even more difficult to concentrate and be productive.

The hope was high this last surgery would at least make the arm pain tolerable. Really sorry you are having to continually deal with this pain.
