I shall, and please accept our well-wishes in return. This is a terrible situation and I’m sorry you’re in it too.

So sorry for I know exactly what h is going through. I fell on a icy ramp back in 2015 and hurt my tail bone. An abbott stem unit was placed but the surgeon cut through T9-T10 causing a condition called patchy paralyzes. I had to retire my psychotherapy job as I could not sit or drive without devastating pain. It turned into CRPS and then total neuropathy from all the nerve damage. 600mg.of R-factor alpha lipoic acid helps as does 400 mg of magnesium glycinate and alot of omega3's. I aded other nerve supplements that go along with neuropathy.. Nothing helped. I have tried every concoction you can think of, plus having a BS in Holistic Nutrition and Herbalology, I still have not gotten a handle on this pain. Shots, nerve blocks, the works . If he can take gabapentin, tizandine which is a supper great muscle relaxer, lyrica, lamotrigin, or any of these types of med's, they help tremendously in reducing nerve pain. I've tried them all and they work wonderfully, but I can't take them due to them causing memory loss for me who very much needs my mind to work. I got a big Nikon magnet and sit on it during the day and I'll be darned-it helps. 800 prescribed iburprohen helps along with medical marijuana. Now-here is where it gets complicated. People just do not know how to use medical marijuana. I've taken several CEU courses for my license and there are very specific cannabinoids that work with spasms and pain. The ones that work best for pain and nerve pain are the following; Limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene, Myrcene, Linalool, Alpha Humuene; *** beta-caryophyllene is the ONLY Terpene that can activate Cb2 receptors within the endocannabinoid system. Spasticity is a hugh problem when the nerves around the coccyz do not return to normal. Cbd, cbg, cbn,thc and thca all help with spasticity. CBD helps alot with pain but not nerve pain or spasticity. I try to get a good quality CBD full sprectrum oil from an on-line store with a discount to disabledvindiviuals. Bump that full sprectrum CBD oil to 50 mg a day for two - three weeks consistantly. I get some from Lazarus Naturals or Charlotte's Web, or any notable company with transparent testing. Having a medical marijuana card, i will take 25-50 mg of CBD full spectrum to get all the terpenes available either from a dispensary or from a store mentioned above. After 2-3 weeks build up with 25-50 mg of good quality CBD + full spectrum oil, add something from the medicaid marijuana dispensary high in the other Pain and Spasm catorgory terpens. One has to try both Stavia for daytime use and an Indica for evening with these pain/spasms terpens in it. I also add 1000-1500 of turmeric Extract. Not powder- ya gotta pay more and get the organic extract to help with inflamation. Ice and heat treatments interchangeable. A good magnet to sit on helps a lot. A TENS unit helps me as well. At times I have worn one all night. THC cream on the tail bone area numbs you nicely in the buttocks. Biofreeze 3-4 times a day on the buttocks area. Remove inflammatory foods from the diet. Add meditation, mindfulness meditation, reiki, acupuncture, massage if you can afford these. At 73, i just added 10-325 hydrocodone with tylenol 1/2 to 1 BID. These has helped tremendously. Tramadol is also a wonderful medication for pain. I hope some of this info helps you. It has taken five years of trying this and that and combining agents to now know works most of the time. Of course I have days with my myalgias that are painful as ever on a daily basis. And do not forget that learning self hynosis and progressive relaxation and chair yoga can be of tremendous help. I have written several Alternative
Therapy training moduals for pain management physicals both in Indiana and in Florida where i now reside.
