I have been feeling miserable...I have been off work two weeks now and waiting for surgery...of course with that comes all the paperwork to actually get some $$ while I am off which is stressing me a lot...I havent gotten a surgery date yet and my doc is less then helpful with pain meds (let alone trying to get an appt - I would have to wait over a MONTH to get in, and this is my GP we are talking about)...

Please please...if anyone has any ideas for helping with these flares it would be appreciated. I am taking Flexeril at night - some nights I can actually sleep...others I am restlesss, find the only place comfortable to be the couch...I look and feel like crap. I know it is only a matter of time now till surgery and I already have post surgery PT booked with the best PT I know (it's a two month wait to get in to him!)...I just feel worn out...but I always survive!

So, if you have any secrets, things that make you comfortable, etc please share. My MT says that she can actually manipulate my arm now which she could never do before (I am also sure she mentioned RSD which I am trying to do more research on...again if you have any info you can share please let me know)...

Thanx!
