Here it is 3:00 am and I'm wide awake after about 3 short hours of unsound sleep. I have this problem of aching, tingling from my armpit to my hand, that normally comes and goes, but some nights, it wakes me up every 15-20 minutes. It feels like I have a tourniquete around my armpits. Like both arms have fell asleep. But my Doc doesn't think it's a circulation problem, he thinks it's one of a couple of places in my spine, where disk material is pressing against my spine. One doc put it like this "potruding disk material at c-6, c-7,is touching, but not pressing against the cord", "spinal cord is also deformed at this spot"...In all his brilliance, he recommended a test for carpel tunnel. After my heartfelt protests, that I didn't have a problem like this until after I fell... was met with uncaring disdain. I later realized that the test he sceduled me for was a major money maker for him. during that test, they stick needles in your arm, then hook electrodes to them and send a shocking electrical current through your arm. Insurance company's love this test, because it could suggest something other than a neck injury causing the pins and needles sensation in ones hands. I even had another hoosier pain Dr. suggest re-preforming the test! what an A-hole! The funny thing is that the aching pins and needles in my hands arms face, scalp, feet and legs, is only a symptom. Not considered a part of my disability. The tingling comes and goes, in different parts of my body, and has been getting worse.But, cervicogenic headaches, is all that is listed as my disability in the paperwork. True that is my worst crippling pain, but I have many more physical problems than that. But I'm getting off track again. I was posting for some employment Ideas, for myself. I know it's hard to recommend something without knowing my full story, an E-book is what my theropist recommended. Me writing a book...I guess anybody with a computer can write a book. But I need some income pronto! I tried what I thought was the easiest job in town, working at a gas station. They didn't give a drug test, so I didn't tell them about all of my medication, and I got the job! Part time, but I got fired after 3rd nite. I my pain went through the roof too. I started rounding up meds from old perscriptions to cover breakthrough pain, but I came up short! I caught my self spacing off, loosing track of what I was doing too. I was $35 dollars short, even after putting my lunch money in the till to try to make up for my short changing myself. and was still $35 short! Ha Ha that's more than I made on the shift! oh well! I used to be a successfull construction worker that thought those peons that worked at businesses like that were loosers, that had the easiest job in the world, next to security guards, that is, and now that I'm not rough and tough any more,(I wine alot) I can't even hold the easiest job in town.
They are foreclosing on my house, me and my wife don't even have our kids living with us, because I am a complete failure that can't even support myself, let alone my family.
I am actually crying now. Tears are streaming down my ex-tough guy face. It is so easy for me to feel mighty sorry for myself. But it's mentioning my boys that makes the tears start.
My shrinks both said this would help. Writing out my feelings like this, but I feel mighty pathetic right now.
I need some kind of work at home job. I need to get some kind of training to learn to work over the internet, but I don't know where to start.
My social security disability claim was denied. My appeal will problably be denied too. I'm gonna be homeless soon if I can't get it together! Any suggestions would be appreciated! sorry I wrote such a long post. I was planning on bible college, but they don't allow narcotics on campus, besides, I'm problably too selfish in doing that anyway. I can't abandon my kids. But then again, it would be less of a burden on the rest of my family if I were to disapear. Or go off to bible college. I have been called. Once before my accident, and now I have been called again.

The test you mentioned is called an EMG and it is very important. It can show nerve damage. The second part of the tests looks for irregularities at the spot where the muscle connects with the nerve. They can trace the nerve pain back to your neck or see if it is limited to you arm. I suspect it is connected to you neck problems. It can show many different things and might be a very important to figuring out what the problem is. I have had it twice, one in the upper body and once in the lower body. It is not just a money maker. It has to be done by someone really good.
It may not be that brilliant to look for carpel tunnel. This test show were the nerve problems are comming from. I will show if it is comming from the neck and may help you case.
There are some people that know more about cord problems and I hope they can give you more answers. There are some who may have some advice on disability.
To find pain doctors, who are not opiate phobic near you, the following sites might help. You might have to travel. Once you get on the right amount, you might not have to see them so often. It might even be time to consider a move. I don't know if that is possible.
You need a pain doctor. You can't just live on old scripts and getting high. I see from your other posts that you state is very opiate phobic.

Hey Ready, I'm pretty much n the same boat. WE can't afford the home we have lived in for 15 years now. SSD is a slow process for most people.It took 2 years for my aproval. It's the second mortgage we took out to survive the 2 year wait is really killing us now. My wife makes just enough money to exclude us from any govt or state assistance.
I don't know how you feel about shrinks but the DX of depression and anxiety may carry more weight than CP. Your attempt at work shows the signs of depression and reinforces the disability. I recall the depo my lawyer took from my shrink and many of the questions have to do with cognative ability. The ability to complete a task in a timely manor, ability to concentrate even at the most simple job.Concentration and problems counting money show cognative disfunction.
Your inabilty to work part time at the gas station and hold that job can actually help you if this is documanted by a MD, Better a shrink than your PM doc. A shrink is better qualified to evaluate your abilities to hold a job. Every PM doc I have seen has wanted me on some type of anti-depresaant to help with pain,sleep,anxiety ,whatever. Personally I would rather have a shrink manage these types of meds as they are more familiar with this class of medication.
I've been looking for something to do at home too, I have run across many scams but nothing I was willing to be involved with. Once you inquire about working from home on the computer your name gets sold to all the work at home scams out there.I recieved close to a hundred emails after inquiring about info at one site. I was flooded with emails often with the same BS plans to make a million from home.
I'll be following this post to see if any good ideas are brought up. Medical transcription and billing are things that can be done at home but do require some type of training.I do hope you find an answer for the problem so many of us face. Take care, David

I don't really have any ideas for you either. I did start training for medical billing, but couldn't sit long enough to fininsh the classes. I also will be watching this post and looking for ideas. I would love to work, but can't think of a way to do so either.
Have you applied for disability? I just got my first rejection and am looking for an attorney myself. I've heard everyone gets turned down once and usually twice.
Don't run away from your family. I'm sure you are not the burden to them that you think you are. I know I feel like a big failure sometimes too. Keep your faith and seek God to pull you through this. I always think that maybe there is a purpose.

Jane,
The Dr. told me the EMG test that I took was to check for carpel tunnel. He went on to tell me he could explain numbness in the tip of my middle finger on my right hand. The only problem is, my whole hand started tingling like pins and needles, both hands, and both arms have numbness. This all started after they put my head in traction. They hooked my head up to a machine that pulled my neck apart, held pressure, thhhhen released. I walked out of physical theropy that day with increaased neck pain, and I have just gotten worse ever since. Severe headaches, neck, back pain, numbness in my face arms hands feet. It really screwed me up when they put me in traction, because When I fell at work it stretched a ligament in my neck, and the neck traction "bruised my spinal cord" as my current pain specialist put it. The doctors I was seeing last summer refused to believe me, and were only trying to please the insurance company, line their pockets, and call my neck problem that they made worse "carpel tunnel".
I have looked at the websights that you have mentioned, and I drive to KY to a doctor that found my neck problem, explained what happened, and never mentioned carpel tunnel.
As far as your suggesting that I take old perscriptions to get "high" is completely out of line. I called my pain Dr. and asked permission before I took any of the Percocets. I am very sitingy with myself when it comes to pain meds. I know what it's like to need them and not have them. I don't appreciate your assumption. When one assumes it tends to make an *** ofuandme. I despise people who abuse medication. I feel that it is the reason people that need the meds, have such a hard time finding them.

Sorry that didn't come out right at all. It didn't sound like you were on the right meds and I was worried that you were in pain. I should never have said "You can't just live on old scripts and getting high." That sounds really bad.
You said "I my pain went through the roof too. I started rounding up meds from old perscriptions to cover breakthrough pain, but I came up short! I caught my self spacing off, loosing track of what I was doing too." Sounded like you were saying the scripts you had didn't work that well and made you spaced out. Perhaps that was the pain that made you feel that way. I didn't mean high, but used that word. I meant that perhaps you were on the wrong medication if it made you too spacy.
I thought that something like OxyContin might be better. Than I remembered something you had said about the drug hysteria in you state. So I figured they probably wouldn't give you something like that. I thought maybe another doctor could treat you pain better. So I posted to sites.
If I had noticed the word breakthrough, I might have realized you may already be on a base medication. Sometimes I don't see that well reading on the screen. I have problems reading long paragraphs. The medication makes it worse. I did misunderstand some of your post, but I didn't think you were abusing you drugs. I also phrased my answer badly. I just wanted to help. You sounded like you were in a lot of pain.
I didn't mean to imply that you were going behind your doctors back. This doctor just sounds like such a jerk and your condition serious. I really meant you deserved better pain care, that is all.
As for the EMG,I just meant that it would show other things besides carple tunnel. I understand that that is what the doctor was looking for and that they are not taking responsibity for the level of damaged that had been done to you. I was hoping the EMG would prove them wrong and work in you favor. That is all. That they might go looking for carple tunnel and find that the problem is really spinal.
I got injured in PT several times. With the traction thing and the electrical stim pads they placed on my shoulders and wouldn't remove even though I was screaming.
I meant to help. I am sorry if I offended you. Rereading my post and yours, I realize mine came off really bad. Both about the drugs and the EMG. It sounded like I was being snide about your questioning this doctor, who is clearly a jerk. No I think he is a boob and you are getting the shaft. I hoped to get you some better answers to you pain and maybe proof that this is more than carple tunnel.
Very sorry. My spaciness was the problem.

Thanks Jane,
It's easy to be misunder stood while communicating on message boards.
for instance, I stated that I despised people that abuse drugs. That is also not what I really ment to say. I love the sinner but hate the sin. Many folks abuse drugs to escape their problems. only to make things worse, when they come down. As a Christian, I want to testify to any and all lost souls, regardless of their sinns, so that they may repent to God so they may be forgivin through the blood of our saviour Jesus Christ.

It is standard and a money maker to check for C-Tunnel. I for one am glad you see that. But the EMG will also show ulna nerve compression. Cervical compression.
Did anyone find any way to work from home? It takes so much for our Meds? That any income would help some.
I used allsup to get my SSD, do a search. They have a web site.

Comeing from a lifetime church member and Christain here, who i hate to admit to anyone that since i've been hurt over the last 3 yrs or so i've found myself in a backslidden lifestyle, but i still know 1 thing for sure...The Lord is not going to place more on you then you can bear and even when we stray He's made us an eternal promise to never leave us or foresake us to the very end! It certainly sounds like your being tested bigtime right now, but just remember Lot....where he turned when his world came down around him! As a society today we can't imagine going thru that type of sacrifice and pain and still maintain our faith, but there's only One who can bring deliverance and the line of communication is always open! And that's good news. So the only idea or suggestion i can give you is don't allow your trial to break your line of communication down.....you don't even have to mention your need/needs, because that's already known. Just offer up your praise and thanks and everything else will be taken care of. Even if you can only bring yourself to pray for 1--2--or 3 mins. a day right now, don't let it go undone!! All you need right now is mustard-seed faith and the Lord will come thru for you! He did'nt give you those children to steal them back away from you and you know it. I know it's hard to thank God sometimes when it seems like everything else is crumbling around you, but stick in there and try to be as strong as you can be right now because this to will pass!!! I'm sure you've already found yourself on a lot of prayer list already from others who have read you post or last few post and as soon as i speak to my wife and explain this you'll be on another. GodBless You and your Family!

My sister had pain from neck down to her hands. She was even to the point where she started dropping things out of her hand. Doctor told her that she had carpel tunnel. I suggested to her before having surgery to go to my chiropractor, who is on the board of directors for the Acupuncture Society of America that deals with acupressure and has been doing this for 22 years, just to see if he can help. After her first appointment, she found out that she lost about 20 percent of grip in one hand and 15 in the other. Come to find out that it was her nerves from her neck down through her arms. After 3 months of treatments and acupressure, she was very pleased with the results. However, it's been 2 years and the pain is starting to come back. Hope this helps...

God bless you Rock, I appreciate your prayers! That post was nice, I have changed my username, from readytopullthepin. I know that the devil will always be there to tempt us with sin, and along with Lot, the book of Job is also a great inspiration. I will have the congregation at my church to pray for you also, that you might get to the alter and repent of your backsliding ways by turning your back on satan and reopen your heart to Jesus, so that his blood that was shed on the cross can once again wash away your sins! I have found much peace and relief in the last few weeks as me and my wife have found a Spirit filled church that has accepted us with open arms, even though we are as broke as broke gets, unable to give $$. But we have found an abundance of love. May the good Lord bless you and yours!

ready2pullthepin....I am so sorry that you are going through this.I can relate as everyone else can.It is great to see so many christains on here!!!I dont remember who said that God will not give you more than you can handle,but remember that is asking Him to help you through your bad times.
I have had this thrown up in my face so many times....I just tell them you have to ask Him in your life and ask Him to help you....everyday.
Have you thought about maybe this is 2 different things going on with you??I read where you said you had pain down your arm and leg??
This all started after your injury?Have you looked into thoracic outlet syndrome?This would be for your arm pain.
I have just found out I have this.The Dr had never heard of it before.The reason I ask is because of the way you describe the pain and it can happen after a injury.Just a thought....
OK....I will say that what jane2 wrote did sound bad,but that isnt what she meant.If this is the jane2 that I know from another board she doesnt have a mean bone in her body.Painful bones but not mean.lol I know I can take a (old)pill and sometimes get that feeling but it doesnt help the pain.That is a sign that it was the wrong thing to take.
I have been there many times myself over the years so I(jane2 and most others)knew what you was talking about.I also have read a post and gotten upset then to find out they didnt mean it the way I read it.lol We all have been there.I think we all know it is the pain talking.
I can sit here and read something and cant tell you what it said.I can read instructions and not beable to put something together.lol Yes I read the directions.lol I also have fibromyaliga so I just blame everything on fibro fog.lol
I dont see where you say what kind of meds you are on.So I will tell you that along with percocets 7.5 4xa day and soma 350mgs 4xa day. I am now taking neurontin 300mgs 3xa day for TOS.I am just starting so I was on 300mgs a day and the Dr just raised it to 300 mgs 3xa day.Just on 300mgs a day my life has changed so I cant wait till the 900mgs kicks in.lol
The arm pain is so much better.I can do things like type,dishes(yuk),sit in a chair for more than 30 min without pain,I even went camping.lol The neurontin has also helped my low back pain.I couldnt stand more than about 15 mins before the back pain was bad.
I also have restless leg syndrome and am not bothered by it since I started on neurotin.To me this is a wonderful pill.I have my life(kinda)back.
Please dont feel bad about coming here and complaining.Being on the internet has helped me more than I can say.People like these on this board helped me get treatment.Posting helps me so much....I can be in pain and write a post and I know there will be people that understand what I am going through and they will lift me up.
I dont even need a reply to feel better.lol It just helps so much to know I will not be told to"suck it up",and"I have pain but I work through it".
So hang in there and post as much as you want.I will pray that you get some relief soon.God bless you.
I just read through this and BOY is it long.lol Sorry

I dont even need a reply to feel better.lol It just helps so much to know I will not be told to"suck it up",and"I have pain but I work through it".
So hang in there and post as much as you want.I will pray that you get some relief soon.God bless you.
I just read through this and BOY is it long.lol Sorry

Hi Paininthebackside;
Strongly have to agree with above - it sounds like you have alot of nerve pain/Nocieceptive(sp) pain, and trying a combination of the narcs and a Neurontin/Topamax/Gabapentin [anti-siezure] med might and should give you better symptom relief.
Also must vouch for Jane2 - she is one of the "good people" that tries to lend a helping hand, as you said, it is easy to misinterpret, or take something differently than intended. Or write it unknowingly that way, sorry to say that if I get in a hurry trying to respond quickly - I too post before proof-reading :D
The "ROCK" Dude is also a "class act", and good people, as is Dave, and jeeze, I guess just everybody here is cool -- There are a lot of folks that could use a "at home" generated income....So if anybody should run across something legitimate, and there is room for more people---Please give a shout!!
Take care All of Ya's - This turned into a "Touchy-Feely" deal, at which I'm not to good at, soooo :wave:

Thanks Frodo and John'smom for sticking you for me. It is the neurontin the causes the brain fog and low attention span. So I don't read things carefully sometimes. I try, but my brain does't follow. Although I have to take responiblity for shoving the old foot in the mouth.
I any others feel left ou in the cold here. :wave: Yes it is the same jane2. Also same jane_c42. ;) Man it is hot. ;) I almost passed out getting the mail ;)today. Anybody got any riddles so as we can exercise our braines. Just follow the bounding ball. ;) Hope to hear from more of you today.
Hi everybody
