Hi Jo,

My sensativity (Hyprsensativity) and sever pain with any pressure to my upper arm. It is located on my inner right arm between my arm pit and elbow. The sensativity was also on my elbow but that has disipated with the blocks as well as the burning on the palm of the hand.
It also burns and at times feels like a hundred bees are stinging my inner arm...
Lidoderm patches are the only thing that help the sensativity and Norco helps the pain in the arm when it becomes unbearable....
I'm pretty sure the RSD was on the hand and elbow but I think the inner arm is a damaged nerve from the second surgery..:(

Hugs :hug:

Listen to the TOS patient pro's here.
They are ALL good people.
nd extremely knowledagble.
I come here periodically when I'm capable.
So much to catch up on, so many new TOSers, so much new info but cannot stay on long.

I will say this...i had a bilateral costaclavicular decompression 8/12/02 cause i couldnot stand the pain anymore. The surgeon said I would be back to work within 6 weeks. HA...never happened my symptoms returned.
He forgot to inform us that he was going to do a right ulnar nerve decompression during this surgery. I woke up and there was a bandage on my elbow not knowing why. The decompression is the worst thing he could have done per other top docs. Thats where i feel the massive burning and inability to use my hand as pre surgery. So, there is no change. Just pain and swelling and throbbing and madness.

Research before you leap.
The surgeons promise you a rose garden and we sometimes look between the lines thinking they are GOD.
If I had had the luxury for this website and all the pro's here I would NOT have done the ulnar nerve decompression.

Best of luck and hang in there with the rest of us, k?

Hi, I'm Donna and I'm just trying to learn about this disorder and more things.

I've got all kinds of issues with my health and I believe it was Shelley that lead me here to this forum. So Forgive me if I seem to be stupid at times, with some of my questions. Because I'm kind of lost.

But I am finding this a very informative group and I am learning a lot from you all.

Thanks

Donna
