I should go more deeply into my symtoms. My spine is not painful really(I do put ice on my neck at the c6 level though to see if it helps - does not seem to but I admit I do not do this alot). The ulnar nerve is. My arms have the difficulties. I have all the typical pn symtoms; burning, pain, blah,etc. Ice on my arms makes them much worse, heat and muscle rubs help once I reach certain (between6-8) pain and inflamation levels. I do understand it is a dorsal root problem at the spine and one doctor recomended a neurostimulator, but I have had no sucess with working with his office and am now hoping to see an new pain specialist. I have tried alternative methods - but not this one, I will give it a try - thank you.
