Hi, I'm 36 years old. Back in 1990, I injured my elbow. For a good 2 years I was misdiagnosed. Then in Iowa City Univ. they dign. me with rsd. There are nerv. blocks you can get to help. Mine only helped for 3 days. Others help for a long time. It's trial and error, I'm sorry to say. I tried the tens unit. It didn't work for me. I went through this for several years. Depression can set in very easily. It is not fun. And can cause stress for the family. It takes a special spouse to go through this with the one that has this. I was lucky--- I broke my elbow twice sense then. It has (broken the spell) of the nerves sending the brain the message that it's still injured. Now I have prob. with arthritis, not being able to straiten it all the way, and it's weak. But I can deal with this so much easier. This is a blessing compaired to the other. Good luck, and prayers do work. I know.
