Am new to this group. Normally am in the Fibromyalgia group, but lately and having severe pain down my arms.
Now, I'm sure the first advice will be about heart. I had tests done a couple of years ago when this arm pain was on the left side. Heart was A-OK and the FM and Osteo + DDD cervically was to blame. Now it's on the left mostly and much more intense. I have had cervical epidurals and the pain was worse for 2 days after. I hate to do that again. Am going to my Dr. as soon as I can aford it since I have no Ins. and go to a clinic for people who have no Ins. In the mean time, I just want to be able to function without so much intense burning, prickling pain. Any suggestions???? Posted on 05/16/08, 07:05 pm |

Have you had an MRI done, I would assume you have since they've done cervical epidurals.
