That was very good advice you gave for anyone who has PTS. I will reach the two year mark this week. Unfortunately, there has been very little let up in pain or use of my hand and arm. I have gone for occupational therapy several times, but it really hasn’t helped much. I also do range of motion exercises. One way to remember doing them which has worked for me is that I do them each time I take a pain pill which is 4 times a day. Even at 3 in the morning!
I also agree with having a great pain management doctor. They have helped much more than my neurologist. My experience was after performing an EMG test and reaching a diagnosis of PTS, follow up visits to my neurologist only resulted in offering different pain meds none of which worked for me. Pain management doctors offered other alternatives.

I hope and pray that your son does not have PTS. Thanks again for your post. It should be required reading for everyone who has PTS!
