Kratom use for abdominal neuropathy

Posted by vwolfee @vwolfee, May 1 9:44pm

New here so I hope I don't violate anything!
So I have very painful neuropathy in my abdominal area. EXCRUCIATING!!!. I would end my life without pain relievers which are Lyrica, Ibuprofin and kratom. Keeps me alive! The kraton by itself only works about 30% or so of the pain. Need Lyrica and 3 tabs of Ibuprofin. Those 3 work pretty good. The kratom I mix a heaping teaspoon With grapefruit juice. Kills the nasty taste. The only other thing that works is 10 mg of Vicodin every 3-4 hours...but cant get it. I could be laying on the floor screaming in agony and they would just shake their heads and say...sorry!
So enough about me. Open to comments...questions...criticism...maybe 🙂

Your pain sounds excrutiatingly horrible. I can't begin to imagine. Is your diagnosis related to anterior abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES), neuropathic pain caused by entrapment in the abdominal muscles of the terminal branches of the thoracic intercostal nerves?
