My mom's been dealing with this super sharp, electric-like pain in her right hand that kicks in every time she coughs. It seems to start at her elbows and then just shoots down to her wrists. She's just getting over pneumonia and has been coughing pretty hard. I'm really worried and wondering what might be causing this hand pain whenever she has these coughing fits. Could it be related to her recent illness or something else?

I've been dealing with a neurofibroma NF1 for the past 7 years and it's been quite tough. I've consulted several doctors and they all keep saying that surgery is the only option. I'm really considering going through with facial surgery now, but I'm anxious about it. Are there really no other treatments or recent developments that might help before I decide to go under the knife?
