NO!!! It is not normal!!! Pain and tingling in your left arm could possibly indicate a heart attack? Since you mentioned a disc, I will go with nerve damage. I have severe nerve damage on my whole right side, mostly in my R.Arm. So, again, not normal.
Like Grace said, you need to see a neurologist, and have him evaluate you. That would be your best bet. Then, if he finds you are a chronic pain patient, he can set you up with a Pain Mgmt. pec. for any further treatment, or meds you may need.
Hope this helps, and please keep us informed!!!

I am going to ask my doctor if sominex might be an option? Perhaps with both, I may get some more sleep?
I completely understand how your mind won't quiet down! I had severe anxiety for awhile, C.B.T. didn't work for me then, either. Its so important to calm your mind, first. And when that won't happen, then its useless. I feel sorry for you, I really do!!!
Hope things get better for you, real soon!!!

Is this being taken care of through an insurance company, or through workmans comp? Either way, I think you have a right to counsel? If I were you, I would find out what my rights are? You may be getting the run around?
Google the doctors name, and find out his qualifications. That would be a good start. Then, I would call my insurance co. and find out what my rights are, or, ask a lawyer.
Any doctor that doesn't respect my wishes, in this case, you already told him it did no good, (the shot) so why would he schedual another? This makes no sense. Do some digging, its your right!!!
Good luck, and keep us informed!!!

And no, I am not going to answer everyone of the reposts!View Thread

Yes, the sr is long lasting, sr means slow release. As for the oxycodone, no, it is not strong enough, but I can't get them to understand that, so I am stuck. I think the dilaudid would be better? I had one after surgery once, it really worked! It would be perfect for those moments when I hit the floor in pain!
Oh yes, the methadone, and morphine are both sr's, I don't know if they come in ir's??? I was injected morphine when my appendix went wild on me. I would think that is the only way to get immediate relief? I don't think I could handle injecting myself, over and over???
Thank you, Grace! Take care, now!!!
