Hi,

In March 07 I had a operation on my neck ro replace a No 6 disc in my neck and ease pain in left arm and hand caused after a car shunt from rear. As soon as I woke up had unbelievable pain in Right hand and Arm and being unbearable to touch. Some 3mths later after being told it would settle I was sent for another MRI scan and it was suggested that the spinal cord had been nicked during the operation and would settle down with medication. To date { 5 mths } I have been put on all types of pain killers, 3 types of Nerve pills etc,etc all to no avail. I get all the down sides of taking strong medication but no help in the nerve pain what so ever, Have not slept for more than 2hrs at a time or continuous in bed since operation 5mths ago. Am now under pain management but only to be told will have to keep trying more nerve tablets until one works, have got to the stage sometimes that I could jump off a bridge when pain is bad and pills send me into depression, any advice would be gratefuly excepted.

Bill
