Hi to all, This is my first post.......Where do I start? Seems I've lived my life thus far 53+ years with some sort of pain......Most associated with my life style......Big sports guy, did the softball stuff when I was younger, Right out of college we even played tag football into our mid 20's. I've slowed considerably, mostly non contact stuff now.....Playing catch with my son, 15 years old. Golf, kayaking, power boating, fishing......I'm a pipefitter by day.....currently laid off. Slow time of the year.....OK, enough about me....lol. My turning to here is a last resort.....I started having a nagging pain between my shoulder blades just after being laid off from work......Its came and went for years......Now my left arm is going numb, and when its not numb, my meaty part of my palm and left two smaller fingers stay numb.......Not to mention, the pain at times is unbearable in the elbow and wrist!!!!!!! I had a MRI last week, and EMG two days after that.......see doctor next week, hopefully for an answer.......I cant sleep, only sitting up, and breathing at times is hard without pain.....even a hard step sends a shock up my spine.....Like an electrical shock!!!!! I'm a mess.......Never felt this bad my whole life.......I hope I make it through the weekend........Any thing you guys can think off to get me through till Tuesday would be appreciative........ Thanks to all for reading.....Best regards......
