Hi Debbie

I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you are hurting so much. I do know how you feel and it really isn't any fun. I was wondering if you had ever tried a tens unit? I have rsd in my right arm and a torn rotator cuff on the left and I find that when the pain is unbearable the tens unit really keeps me from losing my mind! Also, my therapist does ultrasound massage to both shoulders and that seems to help too. Sometimes I take a hot bath w/epsom salts, it's not a miracle cure but is does seem to take the edge off. oxycodone also seems to help.....other than that advice, all I can really offer you is kind words and prayers that you will find some relief soon. Hope to hear from you soon Debbie , jenny
