@djones6340 Hi! Please dont ever feel that it's all in your head. I was there too and it took me some time to come to my senses that it was not in my head. I felt and lived it. It's difficult when you cant line up other stories similar to yours. I always say, comfort numbers and well as validation that someone else out there knows what you are talking about. Glad you are finding some relief. I hope time is your friend with healing of nerves. Be well.

Hi,my name is resa and in 54 yrs old. I have always been really healthy and i work a full time job.i hurt my shoulder at work and figured it was just a pulled muscle. A week later my fingers started going numb,and then my hand. FIRST neurologist, after a mri,sent me to a specialist, and he said herniated disc, 2nd neurogist said Chiari malformation and wanted to cut my head open.that freaked me out.and I got a 3rd opinion. And he wants to cut my back open! Now the nerve pain is from my waist up on my left side,all the way down my arm! Numb,burning, sticking,stabbing,pain from hell! My husband don t get how bad it is,and I still havet to work everyday in a glass factory, useing my hands! 40 hrs a week! By the time I get home, I want to die! Lyrica helps some,but it never goes away! But people don't get it cause they can't see it! I don't know what to do! I'm scared of surgery. Any advice out there?? Sorry so long!
