Hy Hikerdude,

Yes I think if our pain had a bit more problems visually then other might go, Geez that looks like it hurts! Instead we get suck it up. At least with mine there was proof of nerve "lag?" with the Emg and considerable temp difference in my left arm/hand. I had my ulnar and radial nerves damaged from a bad blood draw which led to CRPS/RSD. I'm in constant pain with a deep aching, then a burning in my forearm and hand, tons of numbness in my hand and fingers especially. I also get a wonderful Stabbing pain in my finger tips, elbow forearm, wrist. Lots of fun. I can't take Gabapentin/Neurontin,the side effects were awful. I have a nerve block on 12-19 i'm hoping for the best I've just been having a rough few days. Just feeling down and frustrated. I hate being in pain but don't try to be i don't know, depressed sounding. I'm not but CRPS can screw up your emotions too, I hope you can find the help you need and fast! No on e deserves to be in pain all the time...
