@laura1970 Thank you. I do have weakness in my shoulder and bicep. No shortness of breath though. I've tried the Lidocaine 4%, lotion and spray with no relief. I am on Flexeril 10mg 3xs/day. My pain doc just today, ordered Gabapentin 600mg 3xs/day. I'm hoping and praying that helps. I can take showers, but can't soak. Once, I can I'm definitely going to take your advice about the bath. I truly appreciate your advice. I'm willing to try almost anything at this point.
@laura1970 Thank you. Yes, my right arm is very weak and feels extremely heavy. I can barely print or write. I have been using prescription strength lidocaine lotion, but it doesn't help much. Once my steri-strips come off and am cleared for baths, I will definitely give your suggestion a try.
