My wife is basically unable to do anything because of chronic arm pain
It's been really hard. Holding her phone or tapping on the screen, typing on a keyboard, using a mouse, driving, cooking, most workout activities, doing basic chores around the house all cause her pain. She quit her job about a month ago because the pain has gotten so bad, and it's been really affecting her mental health and self worth that essentially all she can do all day is watch TV and that even with all the rest, her arms still aren't getting better. If she needs to schedule a doctor's appointment (which she has a lot of), she has to either push through the pain and use her phone to look up the phone number and call herself or come to me and have me do it, but as you can imagine it gets pretty frustrating (for her and for me) when she has to have me do almost everything for her.

Her current arm doctor doesn't have any answers, even after x-rays, an MRI, and blood work. The pain has to do with muscle tightness in her forearm and triceps, but it's unclear whether the tightness is the cause of the issue or just another symptom, and nothing works to get the muscles to relax (we've tried physical therapy, supplements, dry needling, massages, and even a chiropractor in Lehi who is supposedly able to help with all sorts of neurological issues). We've decided to look for a new doctor. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good arm doctor on the Wasatch front? We're desperate.
