I am so sorry you are going through this. There are slings and other options to help support holding a baby now, that we didn’t have 40 yrs ago. I hope you are finding help that way. Please stay positive, and keep telling Cancer that it does not belong in your body. May you stay free forever.
. My BPN oddly started overnight 10 yrs post radiation. I was told the symptoms usually only last a few years, 3-5., the digression won’t reverse. Since I started this thread, for FYI only, I am dealing with trigger fingers (thumb, pointer and middle finger) , PT has strengthened all but the thumb. I’ll be doing daily exercise and brace to keep it working. I have looked at all options of pain techniques and implants and have decided to reconcile with the BPN. The cymbalta takes the edge off the days it’s painful, otherwise it’s just uncomfortable. If I was younger, other of the options maybe more beneficial. Keep advocating for yourself if you feel one medication is not helping or is causing you other issues. It’s important to understand and communicate with your medical teams protocols for you that work or not. I wish you the best of health @seathink
