I just bawled my self to sleep last night.

Yesterday I went to see the surgeon who had performed my cubital/carpal tunnel surgery over 4 months ago, because of the concern over the increased swelling and no sign of decrease in the shocks of my arm. Even the Dr of Therapy noticed a decreased pressure of blood flow from my hand to my arm pit.

I am quite a congenial person, but my surgeon was not. In fact this is the second visit which he has proclaimed "its not our fault!". Well I don't think I did anything wrong after surgery. 3 days after surgery I had the most intense hypersensitivity and shocking pain in the forearm and upper bicep and it hasn't let up since. He has ordered an EMG and NCS now that it has been 4 months. Have you had any luck with the test to find the cause? Before the surgery my Carpal and Cubital were so severe and the EMG was borderline.. I couldn't believe it.

I am taking Lyrica 4x75 and seeing Pain Management and going to Pain Management therapy.

I just wanted to say I am exasperated and somewhat dumbfounded by the statement my surgeon made. I feel lower than ever - because I don't believe it was my fault either. I followed the therapy diligently and never went out to abuse the arm.
