<t>Many thanks to you all. Someone, and i can't remember who, had said they ask their body if the pain it's inflicting is the best it can do? I'm also trying this now and it works. Doesn't get rid of the pain but by jove it helps.<br/> <br/> I do look a little strange if i get a spasm and i'm stood ...

Thanks Jacko, I've found your words comforting. I've mailed Liz

Thanks, that's great. Liz i'll mail you.

I must admit when i stumbled across this forum the other night I sat and wept. The relief that i'm not alone was undescribable.

Thank you all.

My accident was only 2 months ago so i'm still off work but I shall be going back to Business Banking as support team leader, in charge of 5. My boss has been excellent and said anything I want or need to help at work i can have.

How long were you all before you returned to work?

Thanks, the site very informative.

I had my accident 2 months ago and have been told by my specialist that the pain should subside within 12 months. Is this accurate?

Can i be cheeky and ask what the low rate is? I've sent my forms in last week but haven't a clue how much the benefits are.

That's really good news. I'm in England too, East Yorks. Did you ask for your arm to be amputated?
