Alternatives for pain management

@johnbishop @jimhd and my other folks in the Chronic Pain and Neuropathy groups. I am writing under this thread because it seemed to fit. Has anyone heard about, tried, or is currently using the Quell Wearable Pain Relief technology. A local friend with neuropathy as well as other pain obstacles is getting relief with this form of treatment. The url is http://www.quell.com or http://www.quellrelief.com. Thanks....

Hi Chris @artscaping -- I've heard of the Quell Wearable Pain device but don't know anyone who has tried it. I don't have any pain with my PN just the numbness so it wouldn't help me. When I first started looking for answers for my PN numbness I tried a Zopec DT1200 tens unit with foot pads for a couple of months and it didn't help me although some others found some relief with it. I'm thinking the Quell device is a step up and works different and may help for some with pain but it would be good to get input from someone whose used one.

Thanks for posting!

Medical Marijuana has been my choice for pain management along with meditation, yoga, and mindfulness. It takes some time to find the right mix of distribution options and to find a regimen that keeps your pain under control. When you have it all figured out....it seems that this rapidly growing and compassionate industry is ready to introduce new products and you once again revise your regimen. Major benefit....it works for small fiber neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy, at least the versions I have.

Good Wednesday Morning,
Well, I went for my lumbar injections yesterday. By last night I was ready to jump out a window from the pain. Sitting in my chair all day was fine, but when I went into bed, ouch!!
I never had this happen. True, my pain was the worse it had been in a long time.
Still no relief today. Hoping within a couple of days things will settle down.

Hoping for a good result so that I can have a nice weekend.

Hope you do have relief from pain soon wishing you well Linda

@grandmar Hoping for a good weekend for you. Will keep you in my thoughts. Do you have something special planned?

Have never heard of this...need to read up on it. Thanks

Hello!
No, nothing planned for the weekend. I haven't been able to plan for anything since my pain has been so bad. Just being able to get out for more than just coffee will be fine with me.
Actually, I think my lumbar shots are starting to kick in. My left side is improving. Waiting for the right side to catch up.
Hope you have a nice weekend.

So glad your shots are working for you now have a great weekend my son a family will be back Sunday from a Disney cruise to Bahamas Can't wait to hear from grandson nice weekend to you

Hi All, heard some wonderful ideas. Most of them I’ve tried, a few I haven’t, and will put on my list to check them out. My problem is, nothing last. A few things have worked extremely well the first time I’ve used them, up to 9 hours of relief on one product, however, the second time: back to the 4 hour time window. I have to be sure I medicate/treat my pain at the first inkling or it gets out of hand really quick and I’m sure we’ve all been there. One thing I’ve notice is that no one has mentioned ESSENTIAL OILS (EO). I’ve had a lot of success using EO, all natural with no side effects. I suggest an App ‘Reference Guide for Essential Oils’ cost $6.99, if you are interested; to educate yourself b4 you start to buy. EO’s can get expensive, but don’t have to if you are educated on which ones work for pain. Even Lavender will work for muscular pain. Thank you for all the ideas. One thing; Acupuncture worked great for me in the beginning. My Acupuncturist took me as far as he could in about 18 months - 2 years and cleared up a host of physical problems and pain I was having. We just could not clear the pain in my lower left leg, ankle, and upper left buttock along the panty line. Not for more than the day I saw him anyway. Once the pain was relieved for 2 days! I was estactic! Worked great for depression. Unblocked all of that. Wish all of you the greatest of success in finding that one thing that cures your pain. Don’t forget to pray, it works!
