I can relate to you. I have been participating in a experimental program with some new non invasive technology that has already decreased my pain from a 9 to a 4. I can let you know when this goes to market. Swelling has reduced considerably and skin color has changed almost to skin color. I haven't been on nerve blocks or pain meds because this has really managed my pain levels. I went thru 5 mos. of hand therapy. I did hot springs hydrotherapy, some mirror therapy, and this experimental device has got my doctors excited and my pain specialist advised me to continue using it daily because she saw firsthand it really works. I can sleep thru the night now and do more movement with my fingers than before. My tissues are healing nicely and I am able to go out with my husband. I have a hard time turning my wrist over because of the elbow. My shoulder was frozen for six months and now is not. My digestive tract is getting better too. Things will heal and the body just takes time. Nerves take longer to heal than other things. I am taking msm, siberian ginsing, Vitamin C, 1000 mg 3xday. No drugs to hurt my liver, and I am feeling much better. have hope hang in there it will get better. From someone who knows.
