Thank You All for your responses! Yes, I saw a neurologist last week (referred by my Dr). I have also seen a surgeon who said nothing surgically can be done right now. The neuro guy wanted more blood work. I called today to see if the results were back and am waiting on a call. I still have to have the nerve conductive test which I am NOT looking forward to. My fibromyalgia rears it's ugly head in response to anything like that. I also saw a hand guy last week and he did cortisone injections for my thumbs and ring fingers. It hurt so bad as they were doing it that my body was contorting on the table. I am still in pain at the injection sites and have had a headache ever since. The numbness in my hands is also worse than before. I can't take much more poking and prodding. I feel like a human pincushion! I know things will be O.K. in the end, it just seems so hopeless sometimes. I have very little patience left, especially because these are things I have been complaining about for years and no one would listen until things got really bad (i.e. the tremors and pain in my neck and back). It takes all I have just to type for five or ten minutes before my arms and hands go numb. I just pray this is over soon so I can at least try to go on with my life.
