Red face Doing a little better

Hi guys,
Sorry it took me so long to get back on, but I still wasn't doing to well. The doc put me back on cymbalta 60 mgs. and I am doing better with that. I went and seen the doc on Monday and this is what is going on now. He put me on skelaxin 800mgs temporarily to see if it will help with my spasms. So I am now on cymbalta 60mgs,skelaxin 800mgs, and trazedone 50 mgs. I also turned my stimulator back on Sunday night and had to turn it down from 1.10 to .90. it aint doing crap for my pain, it might be helping 30%, but that is about it. I guess 30% is better than nothing. I am hoping in time that I will be able to turn it back up, but as for now I can't because the spasms are real bad. I am having so much pain not only in my arm but in my shoulder real bad. The doc thinks the reason my shoulder hurts so bad is because of the spasms and that is making my muscles in my shoulder real sore. He is also reccomending I see a psychologist/psychiatrist. I have to call them today and find out when the first appointment is. I am kind of excited about this, but still a little leary. I just hope that I can get the pain under control soon. Somedays I just think it would be easier to just rip my arm off and be done with it, but I know that won't make me feel any better just worse. Well you all have a great day and thanks for being there for me when I need someone.

Tracy
