Re: Dealing with Chronic Pain

My pain has been greatly reduced since injury date. I find now it is just a constant throbbing in the palm of my hand. And for a few minutes every hour the pain intensifies.

I stopped taking my meds after about 2 months as they were making me crazy.

Re: who pays for these surgerys

Hey, Everyone here understands what your saying. Just the way your saying it may put some off. I live in Canada so I have been lucky considering all my care and surgeries have not cost me a dime. I understand your situation is very tough. From speaking to others here alot of insurance down your way ...

Re: prognosis

You need to have emg's done! If you need surgery it should be done asap. I'm 4 months post injury and have had 2 transfers done.

Had dual nerve transfers performed at Toronto Western in Toronto on Sept 7th. Went home Thursday and finally feel ok to get around today.

Now the waiting :(
