Re: Sympathetic-maintained pain

[Guest guest]

Thanks Di

Does this mean that the pain gets worse or simply different? I have weirder

sensations as time goes along. The primary weird one is the feeling of an

electric jolt that goes up and down my legs when I lie down.

You can also get changes in the periphery, or the rest of

Hi Kaylene,

I think it means both but it doesn't actually say this anywhere.

Pain management (can you believe this?) was not taught in my

university years, beyond cancer pain management - so everything I've

learned has been post-graduation, through my own reading. This

particular course I'm slogging through just spits out the bare

technical facts without any explanation, so it's very hard to

interpret.
