Right now I want to cry, my back/neck/c spine problem has progressed to a new chapter. Since about 2 weeks ago, there are certain moves I make would make my right shoulder/upper arm extremely painful, a type of pain that makes me want to scream. Most concerning is that I can't rise my arm when this happens, went to the GP yesterday and she gave me some tablets for nerve pain which was recommended by the pain clinic earlier this year, it might help, it might not, but I am worried that the side effects will get the better of me like they always have, as it's a type of drug that I am fairly sensitive to.
I am waiting for another injection that hopefully would help for a few months, but it won't cure the problem. A neurologist I saw a few years ago said that it might come a day when I cant move my arm anymore, and I am worried that this might be the beginning of it. GP doesn't seem that concerned, I have half a mind to go to A&E, but I also know deep down it would be a waste of time as I can still move my arm. I want it gone, I have never been this despair and I don't know if I am really this despair or if the side effects of the drugs are messing with my brain.
