Re: [QUAD-L] Arm Pain

[DeLiMiTeD4]

My arms are the only bones that aren't described as arthritic. I'm a c-5 quad too. I had bursitis in my shoulder once. Felt like it was broken. I am told that many upper body muscles aren't working really good and only give partial support to your shoulders. Your bones and cartilage wear from repetitive positions. It sucks, but hell, I'm deforming too. Maybe your doctor will give you a cortisone shot. (god I love those). I sure hope you can find a way to control it soon. It sux big time when you can't feel much, but what you do feel hurts.   john   In a message dated 6/9/2005 1:38:37 P.M.

Now in AZ I sleep with a very light blanket, and have it folded down with my arm uncovered Lately in the mornings, my arms tingle like they are cold, but I'm not. And my arms are very sore and my spasms are bad. But after I'm up for a few minutes, I feel much better. I do take pain meds and I'm sure they are worn off by morning (12 hour time release Oxy, but it never lasts that long while I'm up) But that can't be it because I feel better after I get up. I wonder if it can be a symptom of my body being over heated. Or maybe just laying in that position too long is causing some kind of pain. But something is causing my arms to tingle, burn yet feel cold, and ach bad. When I get over heated in the day my arms don't hurt. And before if I laid in 1 position too long I would start to sweat. Anyone else feel this in the mornings? Greg
