At 66, I've been very lucky in my life and have never suffered from chronic pain...until this year. Earlier this year i began having severe (to me) pain on the top of my left hand and from the elbow sown my forearm as well as a different kind of pain in the very top of my arm, but not quite the shoulder. It really is two different types of pain, the top part feels wither musculature or maybe in the bone, while the lower arm/hand pain is very different and feels like its on the skin itself. My PCP doc thought it might be nerve pain and sent me to a very highly regarded neurosurgeon. He sent me for xrays, and a coup[le other scope tests and said I had a pinched nerve in my spine and he was sure that was causing the hand pain. He did surgery on 30 July, removing C1-C5 and installing titanium spacers. Here it is Dec and pain is no worse, maybe even worse. Last month, the surgeon sent me to a hand dr and that one said he didn't know. My PCP is referring me to a different hand doctor. Meanwhile back at the farm, I hurt. Im on Gabapentin, 600mg 4 times a day, naproxen twice a day and Tylenol a couple times a day. That stuff doesn't seem to help. I use tiger balm on the hand and it helps some but doesn't last. Can anyone that may have had similar pain recommend something? Im interested in CBD type products, if legal, but have no clue what to try. I ordered a non THC creme from the internet, but it was a waste of money. I know, I know, Im a wuss, lol.
