Thankyou larry, and everyone else..
I've cut the paracetamol to 500mg each time.. Apparently it improves the action of the tramadol.
What would you suggest over Tramadol by the way? I'm not handling it great I don't think.. and it gives me muscle stiffness I think. As you say, my pain management support is almost none existent.. but I do have an understanding gP who is willing for me to take ideas to her.
OK, the story of its origins.. a asic RSI type injury, with tendonitis.. left untreated or rested way too long, got tenosynavitis.. Lived with both for about 8 years, and they *think* (though not sure) that the constantly swollen tendons have damaged the nerve..
But thats just their best guess. No one seems really sure, other than I started getting arm pain 13 years ago during a few months of very heavy data input typing... and its progressivly got worse. Now the pain seems to affect the ulnar and median nerves (I had an ulnar decompression in the elbow 4 years ago).. so who knows..
Thanks Larry..
Nikki
