Stimwave user here: What's been your experience?

The kratom u use is it the red strain? Pill form? My husband is a 100 percent disabled veteran and has been on everything from morphine to muscle relaxers. Kratom and pure peppermint oil helps alot. The red strain kratom is the best for pain. and the pure peppermint oil is so strong that it goes through the bone and muscle for long periods of time and it heats up. It also helps to use heating pads everywhere in your house. Massage therapy on people with neurological problems makes it worse I believe it like opens up receptors that should be closed.

Try pure peppermint oil on your feet. It goes straight through the bone and muscle and it heats up. Don't massage. I believe it wakes up those pain receptors.

This was the one my husband uses when he finally got tired of all the BS opioid meds his doctors were making him a zombie on.

Most of the FDA warns about kratom is bc of young people overdosing with other meds. When taken properly it really can help especially the red strain pill form. my husband and I after 14 years have turned to less invasive pain medicine and more natural remedies. and he's a disabled veteran that is messed up many different ways his pain levels go from 12 to 15. And the VA has not caught up to those SCS units yet. So basically we are SOL. My spouse just wants to stay away from the medication.

When I say wake up those receptors in your feet it's in a good way not a bad way to make it more painful.

It's really not. It moves around and sometimes slides out is what I heard. But atleast it going the right direction. Hopefully in 10-20 years it will be more effective.

I wish I could erase the image. I'm still new at this

I have been put on high doses of Gabapentin 300 mg capsules 12 a day and Nucynta 2 tabs 250 mg per tab, I am still having very painful nights and days. I ranched my whole life and was very active, so it's hard to be down a lot of the time. If I hear of anything new that is helpful I will pass it on. Bless you all, Scott

Hi @veteranspouseinpain, as per your request, I deleted the image.

My husband is a 100 percent veteran and he agrees completely about kratom. He learned about it when he lived in Japan. I don't know how much research you have done but there's of course different strains. And the red strain seems to be the best for pain but you probably already knew that. there's a couple other things that he learned in Japan that I cannot mention on this site but I can tell you that Japan is way ahead of America when it comes to pain therapy. The VA stuck my husband on morphine Vicodin Soma and about four different sleep medicines take a horse out. It took us about eight years but we finally got them off all of them. Now most of his medications are natural maybe not FDA-approved but natural growing from the ground. I'm so glad that this medicine is out there and it's reaching people that don't know about it.
