Hi my nerve was removed during a Cancer surgery it was unavoidable just trying to cope with it. I am/was a carpenter range of motion is not the bad part but the pain as a consequence of doing to much. 3 hours light activity then days to recover. Not using much for pain pills 60 Phone pills in 45 days average but to much inactivity I go stir crazy until I do anything then sit to recover. The US government says Disabilaty is ending yet I don’t know how to function 40 hours. I have steady pain then shooting pains the pills help with the steady but the sudden shooting pain I have no answer for. Has things improved other then learning to live with it.
