Hello Jacquelina,

I'm sorry you are having a tough time. You are dealing with a lot right now and it's O.K. to seem overwhelmed. You don't have to apologize for how you feel at one point or another we have all been there.

You can get headaches, neck, shoulder and arm pain from disc in the neck. I had disc fusion at C6 and C7. I see a chiropractor who helps with my pain and energy level. He diagnoised my RSD some 9 years ago.

Now is the time to show all those around you can handle this.

Call you phsycologist and open up. He/She may be able to give you a referral for a new doctor who can help the pain.

Call your doctor and be blunt and to the point. Ask him/her if they know where to go from here. You may have reached the end of their knowledge on how to help you.

When you are stressed and in pain you don't want to be around people. However, you need to get moving and get out of your room. Take a walk or go sit outside and clear your head.

Stress is an agrivator for pain. You seem to have more than your share of stress right know. So take some deep breaths. Breath in through nose filling your lungs to their fullest and release the air through your mouth. Now get the phone numbers of your doctors and make some calls.

I'm hope things starting turning around for you soon.
Take care of you,
Sherrie
