Hello fellow sufferers
I just don't understand why, if I'm resting, elevating, massaging, drinking fluids, & taking pain meds...I can't get this arm to come down & stay down. It's down some in am, but fills right back up...now my hand is swollen as well as shoulder & slightly at my waist. So discouraging!!! I know my previous rads to this area have a lot to do with this pain & suffering, but I wonder when or if I'll ever be able to use my arm again to eat, brush my teeth, groom myself or even use for potty purposes...I've been right handed for 46 yrs, this change is very tough!!! Any one else ever suffer same...I'm clinging to hope, but sooooo discouraged...
