Perhaps heroin might help??? Sorry about your problems, but please visit a site more relevant.

I would suggest you not try to treat this yourself. Visit a doctor. It could be tennis elbow, but in my opinion it doesn't sound like that's what it is. You could have a torn muscle or a torn ligament or any one of a dozen things. Treating it yourself or letting it go, you might end up with permanent damage. See a doctor!!!

Just talked to DD.She called the doctor's office today because they hadn't called her.She asked why they didn't call about the MRI and nurse said he wasn't in that office today.He has offices in other towns.She said he will be back Monday and she will let her know something then. She is feeling some better today though,not as much pain.Thanks for the prayers.

mxyplux, that IS extreme preparedness! Seagrass, I was hoping you'd be feeling better by now. Be sure to do as the doctor advises, though, if you mess up his "work", it'll take even longer. I'd rather take a bit longer and be sure I heal up completely, I think. I did have a secretary who was born with one arm. She said it was hard to do simple things like peel a potato. My Dad promptly drove a large "spike" nail up through a piece of 2X4 and sent that and a "c" clamp home with her. She attached the 2x4 to the counter with the clamp and then just stuck a potato on the spike and peeled it that way, took it off, tossed it in the pan and she was good to go. She said it worked for slicing meat or a chicken breast, peeling peaches (like me, she just couldn't eat the fuzz), slicing "ribbons" from a zucchini. She even used the tip of the spike to poke holes in foil tops on things like coffee creamer and catsup. It's ugly and you have to be careful not to hurt yourself, but it was cheap, removable when no longer needed and it worked for her. I'm sure someone can come up with something much nicer looking... I'm still sending healing thoughts your way. klseivard, I can think of all kind of ways you could "break an arm". Bear attack, sports injury, fighting off a mugger, playing football with Tom Brady, karate with Chuck Norris, someone stepped on it while you were dancing. Yeah..... I did break the middle finger on my left hand years ago, I was working in a Hush Puppy shoe factory and ran it into a punch/press. Broke it in 7 places, they put one of those metal protectors on it and put my arm in a sling so it looked like I was "flipping off" the world for about a month, LOL. I used the "boyfriend stepped on it while we were dancing" several times, and did it with a straight face. People would nod sympathetically then realize what I said. (grin) It sounds like your break is much like Dave's. He's got a plate that runs from his shoulder to his elbow, nearly, and several screws. I told him he has a repair shop, if he'd supplied his own parts, maybe he could have gotten a discount on the arm repair! Annie
