Is there any med that relieves mild but constant pain?

I flunked PT four years ago and again a few months ago.

I stopped it after I returned to work in 1996 after being on disability for 5 years. I should have never stopped and now I’m making up for it. My luck a PT provider opened up directly across from my condo that I can walk there in 10 minutes. I started going again in 2016 when I fell while out walking. My right leg just went numb and I face planted. Lucky for me I have quick reflexes and didn’t harm my face. I’ve been back to them 4 times since then tuning up my deteriorating body from OA. It keeps me active and moving.

You really have to stick with. It may take 6 to 8 weeks to feel the benefit.
I have plenty of numbness that is hard to deal with but I no longer have severe pain.

The prescription drug Qutenza (a high potency capsaicin patch that must be applied by a physician) is an effective non-opiod pain reducing alternative. It has the added benefit of actually regenerating some nerves. Investigate it and see if your doctor will prescribe it. It is particularly effective for issues involving the feet. And this is nothing like the over the counter capsaicin preparations which have little effect. Also, there is finally a non-opiod drug in the pipeline that many believe will be approved by the FDA next year that has shown efficacy in clinical trials, both for pain management and the elusive disease modifying effect.

I will ask about quetenza Friday but my primary interest right now is LDN. Thank you.

You know, I have never been able to figure that out. I am in my 80"s, parts go bad, but this Neuropathy has center stage.
My feet have been in that "going to sleep" stage for 20 years. Terrible...but I can still walk.
My arms go in and out of a weird slippery-prickly feeling, especially when I "try" to sleep. I often wake up in the night, change position, and sometimes go back to sleep.
I use a THC cream on my feet morning and night. It helps. I experimented with it.
Best of luck...it's a tricky one, different in each one of us!

I really hope that I haven't already posted this, but here goes. Drove into Vegas to visit the pain management doc, an MD, in a major orthopedic practice. First off, no experience with LDN. And spinals aside, nada. He did suggest doubling my gabapentin. It's worked! I am taking 5 capsules over the 3 I've been taking for years. I just have to hope that the added reduction in pain lasts. I did tell him that I intended to pursue the LDN path and he had no problem with that. Now I will begin doing that but primarily for my wife. Thanks to all of you folks that have responded.

Please tell me more about "No Show" socks. Now that the weather is getting more wintery here, and my sandals will be put away for a while, I would like to have new socks to go with my new shoes. Thanks.

I’m reposting this about LDN which disappeared—-
LDN does work for pain, as discussed here often. I’ve been on it for almost two years & it works well for me. See info here:

I have read that before, perhaps when you posted it previously, and I have just read it again. Thank you.
