Hey Jeannyjay, I'm dealing with some nerve pain myself.
So I'm still working on eliminating my pain, but I think maybe what has happened is you were pain free for a while but then you reached a critical point. Maybe there are too many things going on. You said stress in your life, but you need to break that down and be specific.
For example, this person at work is really bothering me because they keep pestering me about a deadline.
Also, do you feel strong enough to do some cardio? Physical activity releases endorphins and helps combat that stress in a way that's far better than just vegging out and watching TV!
