Yes, thank you for your understanding.

The radial nerve down the arm is a severe pain.

Your symptoms are so similar to mine prior to my first surgery.

I was on

Lyrica
Targin
Endone
Endep
Also trialed Mobic and Oxycontin.

None of them gave me any relief from pain.

In fact, they messed with my head so much that overall, they made me much worse.

I do agree with the downhill cascade that occurs without enough sleep.

Many will disagree with how I manage now but it works for me.

One small smoke of the funny stuff is my only medication now. I switch off, forget the pain and then sleep so very deep. I do talk alot though lol..

I can still function effectively at work and do not have the psychological impacts that opiods gave me..

Well... That is what I say... For the current truth regarding my psychology, you have to ask my beautiful wife.

All the very best to you with all you are going through. I certainly can relate.

Regards Ken

oh my that's a dreadful cocktail. Pain is so very awful and you must really suffer but as you say the so called cure often brings its own problems. i just hope you more natural approach helps heaps. until i got my hips fixed i had lived with pain so bad i sometimes couldn't walk. that lasted for two years and had been preceded by back problems for the previous thirty. (miraculously when my hips were replaced the back pain disappeared. am I forever grateful for the comparatively pain free life I now lead. it is only by living without pain that I realise how much it takes out of you.
