I'm so sorry!! I know exactly what you are describing pain wise, I'm sure we all do !! It is misery !!

What would happen if you showed your Dad and Mom this thread, or another one on the forum ??

I have done that to show family that I'm not nuts, that just because I look o.k. doesn't mean I am !! I at least have an M.R.I. that shows/ showed my compression and a Dr. that is very understanding and has written a letter explaining the symptoms I experience if I over use my arms. That still doesn't always help, but I have finally learned to say " No, I can't do that, sorry!"

Hang in there!! WE understand your pain!! And please, take care of yourself, don't over do!!
