Kell, Sorry to hear you are having such problems. Still praying for you. I also think it is wise for your son to meet his father. My sons father died when he was four and I know it really does leave a void. Not too much changing here. I have been sticking to the trigger points. It helpd some. My RSD progressed into tendinitis in my elbow. I am just dealing with it day to day. Keep me updated and good luck.

I dont believe in my last post imentioned being pain free, Thats a long shot! actually I am worse. A neurostimulator stimulates your nerves that travel down from the brain via your spine, are you having a pain problem?
Hi fireyone, I see you havent been on here as well as my self, I hope you are hanging in there! like i said before i am so much worse even though they fixed my rotator cuff and other things, The pain is so damn bad I had to go to er a couple of days ago, and the physician was so nice, did not treat me like a drug seeker, "actually my norco is not helping at all!" so they gave me a shot of dilaudid and it helped for two days and im back to square one, pain drs staff manager should have gotten auth in may for neurostimulator and mri as i mentioned i fell after surgery on my shoulder three times! and i called her for over a month and now i dont have ins! i will pay my $586 for cobra so things get retroactive but thats how i have to do it, if his manager whom does authorizations did her job I should have had an mri and the neurostimulator authorized when i had ins, it ended july 1st, I am so damn angry at her! I did referrals for urgent care and got them done asap, we have over 100 people in our clinic a day and many stat mris, cts ect and this just eerks me, I think i will go to er tomorrow for the hospital i work for and they can just bill me and it will get paid aretroactivly, I cant wait anymore, I dont know if pain is from rsd or brachialplexopathy or if i tore my cuff again, all i know its pretty damn bad way way worse! and to have to wait over a month is just not right. anyway er dr here in town again was so nice and i really wanted an mri but it did not happen but he did say please dont worry I want you to come back if you still have pain and he made me feel ok that i went. it was my first trip ever to the er. I now have to apply for ssdi and they are so rude i could not handle her over the phone so i hung up, I have to do part on the internet now then bring in forms to office, boy am i dreading that. also just had lawyer write letter to job asking them to reinstate my benefits and my leave as its questionable under calf medical and disability laws while undergoing treatment. so i sure hope something good comes out of it. Thats about all i can type these days have to go lay down and hope to hear from you soon. take care hope you are doing well.

Know the feeling but I am hanging in there. My job just recently let me go labeling me as a "liability". There are some days I myself wonder "how much more?"
