My husband (56/13) has had severe pain in his arms for the past year. We have mentioned it over and over again to all the various health care professionals he has seen lately and none of them offered any suggestions. We did try a series of physiotherapy sessions which did not help. We have always felt that the cause of the pain was his dyskensia (in which he clenches his fists and twists his arms for hours on end, and has for years). I can understand why this would cause stress and wear and possibly pain. But is there nothing that can be done? The pain wakes him up at night and severely limits what he can do during the day. He can do virtually nothing with those arms - typing, making a bed, planting seeds - anything causes so much discomfort. The pain is worsened, of course, when he falls, which is frequently. So, he is having a rather hard time of it. Has anyone experienced this type of pain and do you have any suggestions for Iain? Thank you. Barb Bates
