Have seen nailbeds on occasions looking a little dusky. Was some stenosis at second surgery just wondering what is going on now. Pain also up into face and the sensation of tightness around throat is worse..pain in axilla...in fact if could lose the arm at moment I would !!!

Being booked in for a CT Angiogram and other things...Bit problematic as this side as had double surgery on it so is quite risky to go into if needed...

Hi long time no read..
Sorry you are having more problems.

My shoulder is acting up so not typing a lot lately.
I did get some KT sports tape and watched some videos on how to apply for shoulder pain.
It seems to be stabilizing,supporting and helping with less pain.

So if anyone reading hasn't had a PT or chiro that tried taping, or tried the sport tape them selves, it might be something to look into.
Chiro had used it 2 yrs ago on my lower back and it worked well for that too.
She also did Graston technique on my low back but the taping gave extra support and stayed on for 7 days..
The KT sport tape I got from the store might be less durable as it loosens after shower.

Hi Jo*mar
You areequally having issues. Typing is not easy, I completely understand. MY one hand permanently rested on key board and just operating a s and shift..the rest by my other hand,,,
The KT sports tape is good idea and something I have a supply of. Been using cohesive bandage to give wrists support when not wearing neoprene wrist supports as my wrists feel really weak. Life is kinda fun!!!!

AT least my consultant knows what he is dealing with and is worling with me and in my best interests. Have an appointment to see him again 4-6 weeks once had ct angio etc....

Take care
H
