How to manage thalamic pain syndrome?

Posted by wildeharpe @wildeharpe, Jun 26 4:34pm

I have a thalamic stroke a year ago. I experience pain, stiffness and pressure on my left side from trunk, to upper left leg and down my left arm. My elbow burns and my balance is off. I walk with a limp due to the sensation of rigidity. Does anyone else have similar symptoms?
