Hi Sue,

Sorry you are having such a bad time of this. Has anyone focused on an event ie lifting something, a recent virus, exposure to some new drug or chemical that may have set things in motion? Is there a way to take time off from work so you give your upper body a rest? The fact that the gabapentin helped leans toward the problem being nerve related. The body is funny and can send impulses of pain even when nothing is happening.

I agree with Pat that a pain management doctor should be next on your list to come up with some kind of regime to calm things down. Here is a link from Web MD of resources for pain management. Hopefully one of these sites can help you find someone in your area.

take care, Michele
