    Ice helps alot-

    ask your doc about prescribing you Diclofenac Sodium Topical Gel 1%- its a transderal gel that your body absorbs-- it helps with the throbbing pain.

    I also take Tramadol for the pain and Trazadone for night.

    I found advil didnt touch the pain-

    take care, sue

    Not exactly sure what you mean but I had like spasms and a muscle relaxant really helped ( but made me so tired I could only take a short time) also ice Packs. I found tramadol was totally useless when I had it before. After my mua they gave me Percocet hitch helped with overall Pain. Good luck hang in there

      My physio would say that any pain below the elbow is generated from the neck/spine area, not the shoulder... I used to find that stretching my neck up and away from the FS side helped the forearm/hand pain. Am not sure how accurate my PT is in her theory, but it seemed to help. Owie!

      I also have a LOT of pain that raidates down my arm. It gives me a dead arm and hand. Kind of like when you hit your funny bone really hard. Pain - numb - tingly - awefullness. Also, now when I do my stretching exercised, besides the deadarm, I have pulling down my side with lots of crunching and grinding in my shoulder. I don't know what stage I'm in. This all began around Fed 2016. Shot didn't help, and PT is terrible. PT gives me better ROM, but it's always very temporary, and lots of soreness the next day, so I quit going. I can't wait for this to end.

    Hi Tina

    My physio recommended lyrica for my nerve pain. It really does work, however it takes a short while to take effect and it does make you feel groggy and a little off balance but in time you will get used to it. I was on lyrica for a month's and then slowly had to reduce the mg before stopping completely.

    Now I have no more nerve pain.

    Good luck ?

    Please before drugs try a portable tens unit. You can get them on Amazon etc   I would spend more rather than less. They deflect most of the pain. I used to,sleep with mine on..they do have automatic turn offs.  There are features that allow you  t disconnect from  an electrical outlet and switch over to the battery so you can go about your life. Good luck!
