Janet, Interesting article on pain. When I had the nerve problem in my left arm my doctor was worried about a syndrome (cannot remember the name) that causes the nerves to sense pain all the time. It seems that if you have chronic pain from an injury for a long time, then the nerves begin to only sense pain. After this begins, even good sensations are painful. He was worried because I complained for so long of my arm being "on fire". He and my RN friend looked up several medications for nerve pain. Then my friend found imeprine (my spelling is off) which is an anti-depressent with the "side effect" that it helps with nerve pain. What a find, and it was even compatible with my pd meds. Enough, this is the second time I have written on pain this week. And I am not even in pain right now---except for my leg, but that is always and will probably be forever now. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
