I believe that the "sleeping in wrong position" reply might be the problem, but I remembered hearing years ago that it might be an indication of a heart problem.
To answer your questions:
No injuries.
I'm a type 2 Diabetic. (Approximately 14 years)
Having had a recent bout of constipation, I consulted a gastroenterologist who suggested that I try a few samples of Linzess which seems to have solved the problem other than leaving me with extremely hard stools.
I bring this up because he mentioned "thyroid" and further testing, but as a care-giver, finding time for this is sometimes perplexing.
I will see him for a follow up in May so I will bring it up.
Lastly, "pain" may be a bit exaggerated ----more like a dull , "tingly" uncomfortableness that does go up to the fingers.
Appreciate the prompt reply--I'm off to do some shopping , but I'll check my e-mail on my return. Thanks again.
