It seems to come and go quite a bit. Started noticing it about a month or so back

My latest 'Peg-leg' update...
Here, I'm experiencing a serious setback.
Can't remember if I told you I dislocated an elbow (which happens periodically, then re-sets itself within a few hours).
This time it's laid me low.
Had a thorough examination by Mel, the physio and found I have an inflamed nerve, which affects from neck to hand and feels like what happens when one 'knocks the funny bone', but is constant and has been making my life miserable for nearly 3 weeks.
Every movement is agony.
Mel advised contacting my GP practice, which resulted in a telephone chat with a Locum, who advised I increase my Pregabalin dose from 2 x 200mg to 3x.
This helps to dull the pain to manageable levels, though emphasises my hand seems to be partially paralyzed!
The main impact has been me not using my crutches/prosthetic, for feeling vulnerable to falls.
Though it's difficult, I have no option but to keep trundling around in my wheelchair.
My research online assures me the nerve inflammation will settle down eventually.
A week ago, there was no way I could have typed this explanation due to the movements required; so I suppose that is progress?
After 'saying' that, I've had enough for now.
