Ive had this a week now. Ive had co codamol which made me spaced out.Ive had anti inflammatories which really hurt my stomach (had ulcer in past )ive used heat, tens machine , massage, baths and even valium for last 2 nights !
Ive paid for a private physio too as nhs wait for urgent cases even is too long. My poor dh must be exhuasted from being woken by me at night. I try not too but am literally hystarical with the pain. DD had Mon and Tue off school which sounds awful i know but i couldnt let her go because shed had so little sleep and i couldnt do things.
My arm is weak and so i cant even pick up the weight of an empty tea cup , so apart from being very very painful its also frustrating.
My main problem is that i cant lie down.I can only get any sort of rest from sitting bolt upright in bed with lots of pillows.
After doing this for several nights not only does your butt ache but its just so uncomforable.Ive tried lying completely flat,lying on one side and my stomach but anything that isnt upright increases the pain and numbness down my arm.
Has anyone got any tips if youve been through this yourself because i would be very grateful.I had the same 16 years ago in my other arm and it took about 7 months to go so im feeling really low now with that thought in mind.
Many thanks x
