Hey all!

I realize this is something I need to discuss with my Ortho, but, have any of you had pain in your bicep on the same arm you have CuTS in? I've just started (in the last month) getting strong pain in my left bicep when I have it in a particular position (usually sitting on the sofa, and lying down). To me it seems directly related to my nerve damage-no shoulder pain, just right along the muscle in several places. If this is something any of you folks have experienced, would you please let me know.

Thanks!

I am having a similar pain too! It is not constant, worsens after I have used my arm alot. It is not the muscle. My pain is about 5 inches below my shoulder on the outside of my arm, my hand has never stopped hurting since the surgery. Doctor said a month ago to give it time. I see him this Thursday and will tell him about the pain, but I have strange feeling the he will just tell me to give it time. I am sick of giving it time! That is why I had the surgery to alleviate the problem NOT to cause more!

Well, went to doctor. Was told that it is my radial nerve acting up now! Have been taking anti-inflammatory medicine for the past month, was told to continue that for 3 more weeks to see if it helps any. If no improvement by then, he recommends another surgery to release the nerve. Not what I wanted to hear

Hey PostalGirl! The Radial Nerve, eh? Hmmm. The pain placement sounds basically like mine. When doc does the MRI, I'll make sure he goes up there with it. My run of NSAID's was with Motrin 800's... I was taking 8 to get me through my route... they didn't stop the pain, but they would stop the burning lightning bolts caused by the inflamed nerves. I go do my deposition for the company insurance lawyers in the am on the 15th, then I have a new round of nerve testing that same afternoon, MRI in October I think. Thanks for sharing about your bicep!
