I am in the process of getting pm approved and have been having increased pain. Seems like the changing temps are really affecting it. I don't know but it's going further up my arm and sucks. Especially when I lay on it, I wake up wanting to scream (or when I drive or pretty much use it and it's my dominant arm)

I am not on meds and was thinking I should wait till I see the pm doctor. I have avms in my gi tract and cannot take NSAIDs without bleeding. I am taking the max amount of tylenol a day and am on an ace inhibitor already for blood pressure. So what can I do to get through this time and maybe decrease some of the pain at home?
Any tips or tricks? It's been feeling like I have a terrible burn on my whole arm. But the swelling is sticking to my thumb only, I'm grateful for that.

It's been a real struggle and I've been trying to keep busy to get through it. Just hard when hands are kinda a big part of being busy. Ugh I hate this!
