Law surely hope you start feeling better, but glad those lolly-pops help! I was wondering if anybody else had this happen.... when I fall asleep and drop the pillow that I usually hold my ar straightens and my last 3 fingers curl up more so than normal. When I do wake my arm is straight my fingers bent and I require my wife to message my fingers to straighten the and her to help me bend my arm a few times before I can do it by myself and at times while she is doing that I am in actual tears! I have not had an appointment with Dr Togut, though have talked with him and he said it has to do with the Fleor nerve/muscle!

Unil later I wish all a pain free day !!!!!!!!

am kind of sad about all the bashing on the forum feedback- suggestions are great- but many are just complaining and not offering ideas for improvement.
I'm wondering if their postings will have repercusssions when we return to BT1???
I hope not.
I think the banned ones are inflaming the others- i think they forget that anyone can read here.
Oh well life goes on.

got DDayMBB's e-mail about the new forum...I've just been so busy with the kids this weekend......I want to say Hi to all and can't wait to hear what everyone has to say....will give all a heads-up when I have a little more time to talk...just needed to say a quick HI---HI

am online again and I am glad to see that the "today I" family is growing!!

Since thursday my both arms hurt more than "usual" - nevertheless I spent the weekend in Vienna where we enjoyed the museums, restaurants and cafés.

I hope you can have a painfree or a light-pain day today!

Want to wish everyone a good night and a painfree day tomorrow.. Now off to bed I go to try and catch this headache before it becomes too nasty..

...am still in pain. It just doesn't go away. After the injections in my armpit to relieve the arm pain ...well...it worked for a little while but now IT's BACK! The arm pain is back and as painful as it was before. I now can't brush my teeth again without pain..can't stir foods, can't jerk my arm in any way shape or form...BEEN DROPPING EVERYTHING! This truly sucks! If I press on the muscles under my arm...my entire arm all the way to my fingers tingle and go numb. Also happens when pressing on the neck. It's instand pins and needles. The Doctor mentioned that in his report also.

This is just rediculous...and so very frustrating. I tried to peel potatoes yesterday and cried. I couldn't even fry up ground beef!

I've been dealing with this pain and going through injections but they only seem to relieve the pain for a short time. I need longer relief! I can't stretch without SEVERE pain! No therapy yet and my husband went to massage my neck and shoulder...YIKES...NO WAY NO HOW! I jumped sky high. That hurt so bad it brought tears.

so today again I sit here in pain...I can't even put jeans on without crying. I feel so useless. I can't go shopping..can't do anything! It can really make for some down time. I didn't even wash my hair cause I can't get my arm up.

I guess as usual one day at a time but I have another week before I see the Doc again. Oh yippee!

Now I also have a cold...the kids were so nice and decided to share. I feel so wonderful now. I really am doomed!

P.s. I wanted to let you all know that I have a 14 yr old daughter who has mild cerebral palsy along with many other medical conditions. She has had 9 surgerieds...3 open heart. She also has some learning issues, developmental delay and some new things coming about. We aren't sure what's going on so I'm in the midst of contacting specialists and going through all kinds of testing at the moment. As always I put the kids first but I'm starting to lose my mind. I don't even know where to start these days.


Well enough about my troubles...hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Take care.

Cindy

I guess we're having a similar day...lol

I read your post after I posted...must;ve been typing mine while you were posting yours.

I have an idea...guess if we shave our heads like Brittany Spears...we wouldn't have to worry about washing our hair anymore

After shaving my head...I'll cut my arm off too...


ok maybe not but nice thought at the moment.

Today... I think Mom was giving me a shot about having a BUZZ cut I do it every spring and yes it does cut time off in the morn plus added benefit of not having to reach up so go for it MOM an Cindy though getting to how you feel MOM , maybe talk to your doc about an anti dperesnt ex; paxil, prozac, etc... does not hurt to try... but remember we are here for you and let it out !!!!

thank cindy, jo kat an mom for their positive vibes, now to wait the month or 2 for their decision <UMMPH>

If anybody has the chance to try water therapy go for it! The pool where I go is a constant 91 and feels great when in it, but when I get out can feel the difference, hope it adds to my mobility in time .

Pass long my hopes for low pain to all and a great day !!! Mark~n~GOOBER
