Low-dose Naltrexone for lower back pain

It may depend on the cause of your lower back pain. My CRPS and SFN pain are not interfering with my life as before. I still have back pain but I have several options to help with that. I use lidocaine 5% pain patches by Endo, lidocaine prilocaine cream, and I have a spinal cord stimulator implanted. I am allergic to a lot of meds so pain management works for me as I have an excellent doctor who is very conscious of my allergies. Epidural and RFAs help my neck and low back pain. I recently had a sympathetic nerve block which has lasted most of the month. Hope you might find an excellent pain management doctor!

Helo, my wife has very similar spinal pain similar to what you are suffering with. She is having some difficulty getting to the point where she can get the spinal cord stimulator implant. Must see a psychiatrist first, and now they are making comments like she must have had spinal surgery before the SCS implant can be approved. Sounds nuts to me. She has had a lot of epidurals and at least 2 nerve block procedures. Nevertheless, by itself, do you think the SCS implant is effective without necessitating many of the other pain blockers? By the way, what is an RFA? Thanks!
