you know I am so tired of being in constant pain!!! I thought I was finally getting off of pain meds totally after my shoulder surgery in 2007 and then my knee replacements in 2011 and 2012. now I started hving right arm pain that sends shooting pains down my right arm all the way to the hand and makes my hand go numb etc. Plus I have lower back pain again that shoots pain down my right leg. So now I went through MRI and found out that I have herniated discs in my neck which is pinching the nerves and sending the pain down my arm which is making me lose muscle tone and strength in my right ( the one I use all the time) arm. I have no idea what the back MRI has shown yet!! Anyways, I had my first cervical epidural steroid injection Tuesday which made the pain worse!!! My freakin luck, so I ended up back at the pain clinic today and now I am being referred to a neuro surgeon.!! they are now thinking that it is more my shoulder than neck!!! Just hurry the hell up and find out because I HURT!!! they also put me on hydrocodone 3x a day and I refuse to take them like that.
