Yellow I hope you get some direction and of course relief with the pain doctor. I hope you have a meeting asap with him?
Alyson I see you are new and you may want to start your own thread so that more people will respond. I am sorry you are facing this and I can understand the battle mind and body. I have had this 5 years and both mind and body have changed a lot through out. I do agree that seeing a psych can help one cope with the pain and health problems. Are you under the care of pain doctors and other? What other procedure or meds have you tried?
Sorry I wish I could offer more to both of you. Just that I understand and to hang in there.

Unfortunately my doctor's on vacation for a few weeks so I'm unable to see him until Feb. 7th. At that appointment I think we'll probably talk about injections. The plan in the meantime is physical therapy, but I'm being bounced around to a new physical therapist now who doesn't know my case and after the one session I had with him so far my wrist was hurting far worse after than when I came in.

Alyson, I hope things get better for you soon, I know how hard it can be to cope with the pain at times. Hopefully you have some good and dedicated doctors taking care of you, though, and that you'll be able to find some support here at NT as well.
