Hi, that title "Airplane Pain" sounds crazy, huh? I just took a trip to Las Vegas and it was the first airplane ride since I had since my accident.About five minutes after being in the air, my hand and arm started aching and throbbing like it was just slammed in a car door or crushed by a steam roller. That is the general sensation I usually have , but this was sooo intensified. After we landed, the sensation decreased. Has anyone else had this experience while in an airplane? I still had a great time and enjoyed all the other one armed bandits and came home with enough money to pay some bills. ttyl Rhoda

Hiya

I reckon its a stress thing...I know when I last took a 'plane trip my arm was fizzing much more than usual during the flight, and something was worrying me at the time. Funny tho, it never did it when I was on a long haul flight! Mind you, I always spent most of the flight asleep...sooooo boring otherwise.
