thanks for your message tracey,

i want to go down the neurolysis route, since whenever i try and do anything much with right arm, or even having head unsupported, causes nerve irritation symptoms to increase. have spent months on the floor following examination of the area. to me, the dellon pain book makes sense - i.e., that pain signals have to come from somewhere and that is always from nerves. if you can find the nerves then you can kill the blighters, or decompress them.

frustrating that nobody in the uk seems to go down this route unless it's to do with other nerve problems (e.g., nerve graft, and then they'll do a clean up of scar tissue that was there, rather than just clean up the scar tissue and see if that helps with debilitating pain symptoms). would that sensory experience was transferable to consultants (temporarily)!

does jenner not go down the neurolysis route either? i've had botox in traps, levator scapula, a couple of times, but just a bit of temporary relief from spasms. upper traps and serratus anterior wasted, so until that sorted muscle imbalance plus scalene tightness (which came first) will continue. and the blooming nerve irritation, heaviness, coldness, etc.... on use / examination.

how are you? do you live in london? i'm in cambridge.

really hoping for advice on who to see / consider in the us. i'm happy to use up life savings if it might help!

best wishes,
zoe
