I am seeing a Psychologist, who does bio-feedback and Hypnotherapy. It does help a LOT. It's just for some reason the last few weeks my arm has been getting worse. Believe me I didn't WANT to be on opiates for a long length of time, I have issues with constipation. But I'm kind of afraid it's progressing. Even with the therapy, physical therapy, and other medications that we have tried. Unfortunately I'm pretty much down to opiates for the pain relief because of all my reactions to the other meds...... it was a last ditch resort. But, I seriously couldn't handle the level of pain it had gotten to. I had been trying self-hypnosis and Epsom baths and everything before calling my doc's office who then told me to go to er......I hate the ER. lol
