this is a surgery i had over the winter. the pain i had in my shoulder blades, down my arm an in my hand was rediculous. there is no pain meds for nerve pain. i've broken bones before but this type of pain is plain bad, especially when the only cure is surgery...was out of work 3 months for that and more nerve problems in my elbow plus carple tunnel ended up being 5 months off. 2 surgery's total...
