@Forçe e Honra
I wish mine was on the left side b/c I am right-handed, too. I am the same in that texting makes the pain significantly worse (but sitting at desk and typing on my iMac is okay). I've greatly reduced the amount of texting and typing on my iPhone (for now) b/c the pain is too severe. I don't really get numbness and tingling although sometimes it feels like something is vibrating inside my arm and it's very uncomfortable. It used to be severe weakness and heaviness in my right arm but that has vastly improved so I can use my arm normally but just end up with severe pain.
I'm so sorry, @Gingergrrl I can only imagine! For me, typing on my chromebook hurts more than texting/more quickly but that may be because I can text-type with mostly my right hand on my phone whereas on the chromebook I touch type.
I am not allergic to steroids but don't do well with them either (except for the daily dose of Cortef that I have to take). It sounds like a major procedure if it has to be done in a surgical setting. I am hoping to find another option.
Hope you do, too and soon! I just read up on the cervical epidural steroid injection - and it looks like they DO use contrast - which makes sense so that they get the medicine in the exact right place (it could be dangerous if even off by a tiny amount). "Contrast dye is injected into the space to make sure the needle is properly positioned in the epidural space near the irritated nerve or nerves." So that would take that option off your list. Sorry.
Thank you and I looked at it quickly and have never seen anything like it. I am going to read more about this product for sure.
I hope you get relief soon.
