The scare is their addictive properties but without it the pain is more unbearable. I have to see a palliative specialist in the next few weeks, though Im not sure what he can offer.

But thank you again
Hi,

I recently saw an interview on the Colbert Report with the inventor of a new prosthetic arm that is being primarily provided to bilateral amputees. It doesn't look like it involves the other arm/shoulder at all. but it looks like it's currently only being tested/studied in war vets. I don't know if there's any way to get in on this, or anything similar.

I'm sorry that i don't have any real info. It's encouraging and inspiring to hear about what you're doing.
