Pain in my Arms
 

The pain in my arms is worse today than all week. This morning I vac'd the bedroom and ever since my arms have been spasming so bad and actual pain..... this is really making me worried.

I have decided insurance or not I am going to call the neuro on Monday.

I am sure the weather isn't helping. I have taken as much Baclofen as I can and even took a pain pill this afternoon but it didn't even touch it.

It has been a week today - which makes me nervous, we all know when something stays with us longer than a week.....

Going to have some dinner and hit the bed early. I didn't sleep well last night for it was keeping me up.

I put the bar of soap in the bed tonight and I am thinking of trying one up by my head and maybe it will help my arms / shoulders?

This is the first thing I thought of hun. My head hasn't been hurting UNTIL today. Now I'm getting the good ole temple pains. UGH. Lousy weather!

I hope you find something that gives you relief though. :hug:

Pain sucks, Char. Try some Epsom salts in a warm bath too.

Hope you find some relief from the spasms. I feel for you!

Praying for a restful night for you. Where's the praying smiley?

Char, it could be the rain coming but a week is a long time. I agree you should have it looked at. I hope you get some relief. :hug:

Char:hug: hopefully when the storm moves off shore you will feel better real soon, glad you are going to call neuro, did you try heat or ice, think it might help?

i have found sometimes ice does help me and even heat, as long as it isn't what Laura has the headache, I have noticed a lot of pains with the storms this year, pains i never had with storms, which I hear diff things that storms wont accent your MS SX

:hug: heres hoping the pain subsides real soon

Hugs Char. I know that pain is not fun. It drains you of energy among other things. Get some rest and try the epsom salt bath. It does help (as much as I HATE baths, it does relax the pain sometimes!)

It could be something other than MS, tho, so I would call the doc.

I was talking with a board buddy last night..... she mentioned L'Hermittes which I had forgot all about - yup, put my neck to my chin and wow sharp prickles right down to my finger tips!

The last couple of times I got it it went down into my legs but not this time! Right down my arms especially the right! Can hardly lift my right arm up to my shoulder without severe pain.

Ok, I am going to check the weather and sign off for the night. Thanks for the prayers.... you are right B2U - maybe someone will see it and add it?

:hug:

Night Night Char! Get some rest and feel better tomorrow!:hug:

Don't move your neck hun, and get some good sleep and feel better so you can enjoy the weather tomorrow :hug:

Thank you, Everyone!

My left arm feel a lot better this morning but my right isn't as improved. I didn't sleep very well, for the right side was full of prickle / tingles / spasms / painful spasms. I did get up at midnight and take another dose of Baclofen and a sleeping pill.

I will rest them today - we can't do to much today so I will be good.....:D

thanks for the support. :hug:

Called the neuro this morning - out of the office till Wednesday but it is all documented any way!

I'm so sorry about your pain, Yabbit :(. I hope you get some relief soon :hug:. It seems like the docs are always 'out of the office' when we need them the most. :rolleyes:. Rest as much as you can, I know...easier said than done. Take care :).

Hope your'e feeling better, Char~ I tend to blame sx's on the weather, which sometimes, is true. I woke up to a cool, rainy day and ache all over. Even my walk is off.

Hope the Neuro can get to the bottom of it for ya. Rest well, my friend.

It's almost like they are reading NT and conspiring! ;)

(My case worker's out till Wednesday HA!)

Hey lil' Lambchop. Try to rest, don't overdo it with those spazzing muscles if you can. :hug: The warm bath or shower helps me too, I hope it gives you some relief.

Thanks all,

I was doing a little better last night but then woke up this morning to a chilly cold damp day and ache again! :(

I think you are right DM - weather has a lot to do with it.

I wondered about it too, each time a hurricane has come close to the US I can feel it and not in my normal spots I.E. my old broken back injury but rather in my arms and legs my neck and cogfog and vision, I have asked b4 and got crossed reviews but the more I hurt when weather changes the more I am sure weather plays a part in MS Sx

Char am glad you called neuro, hopefully this shall pass:hug:

Sorry your arms are still feeling so yucky Char.:( Get some rest if you
can.

:hug::hug::hug:

The weather and MS
 

Today I had to go to the chiropractor because I couldn't stand it anymore....pain under my shoulder-blades and shooting down to my elbow. Now my elbow hurts when I put it down. Lower back has been hurting too.
I feel for everyone who can't sleep cause of the hurt!

Chiro worked me over and his assistant gave me a massage. Felt good but I still hurt. Chiro said he couldn't believe how tight the muscles were in my neck and back.....ahhhh spasticity.....don't ya just love it.
Just when the leaves are starting to change and the nights are getting cold! This happens to me every season change......

I have never been to the Chiro - to chicken!!! And I haven't had a message that I liked ever! It hurts so bad and I just go without!
