My PT doc had prescribed Voltaren 75 mg (it's a non-narcotic therapeutic anti-inflammatory; it's very help and doesn't have any of the regular risky side effects - but can be hard on the tummy, and because I was having difficulty sleeping..due to the pain, she prescribed Flurazepam 30 mg... these are two very old meds, that most doctors don't prescribe anymore. But it sure helped me. It's something to consider taking to your doctor to see if it could work for you...just a suggestion. It'll get better, Kimmie M

I hate talking about it as it gives me anxiety. But I had to.
She pressed on my arm and she said she could feel a nodule and I wanted to hit her it hurt so bad and my fingers got tingly almost electrically. She sat back and said that there are no nerves in my neck that effect my arm that low. (at the elbow)
She sent me for x rays of my neck and said I can't do a EEG without an x ray first. She thinks if nothing comes up then it just might be secondary Fibromyalgia. As it's located at a tender point. But wants to rule everything out first. I was thinking maybe a herniated disc or something.
oh well. she gave me a script of Naproxen. I thought it was for migraines but my mom says no.
Anyone know what this med is used for? I haven't filled it as I had taken advil today and can't mix the two and decided to try to sleep (which I didn't) instead.
Thanks,
Kelly
