Re: Hot and cold hands
Exact same thing. My arm tends to be cold during the day and can get bright red and hot in the evening. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm up or down. It seems to have a mind of its own.

Re: question to people who has this injury for more than 15 years.....
<t>I'm going on 13 years, don't quite make the 15 year mark. I'm also in my 40's, and was very active before my injury. I know I can not evaluate this injury and its impacts. The pain absolutely impairs my judgment. I think I realized that after shaving the hair off of my arm. I was sure it was part...

Re: Cold Arm/Hot Arm
<t>It was in '96 and they think I drove and caught my seatbelt just before the crash. I had a crush injury on my inner elbow that required a lot of surgeries, including a rotational flap, as well as all of the brachial plexus tears and pulls.<br/> <br/> I have no use of my hand, no tricep, I'm kind ...

Cold Arm/Hot Arm
Do anyone of your arms go from cold to hot during the day?
My arm is typically icy cold during the day and then turns bright red hot at night. thought it may be because I'm up more during the day, but it doesn't seem to care if I'm up or down.

Jumping off the Oxy Roller coaster
<t>Hi I'm new to the board, but not to brachial plexus pain. I've been taking Oxycontin for over a decade. It seemed to work for the first three days, and ever since then I have been trying to find that initial relief by increasing the dosage, increasing the frequency, and finally giving up and then...
