World MS Day (May 30th)

Happy World MS Day to all fellow fighters. Remember that your disability is not a weakness but just a roadbump which will allow you to propel further if you know how to utilize your “benefits”. God bless every one of you and stay strong. 💪🏽🙌🏽🤟🏽

Any advice

Suffered with extreme pain in hand up to elbow. Attempted nerve op as we weren't sure if nerve was just trapped (all investigations were inconclusive). Now have what feels like a cheese grater in my elbow and extreme pain in hand. I've been on lots of medications and nothing seems to work :(
