I live alone. Have a son in Nebraska. I am wheelchair dependent but do walk with 2 canes. Spinal stenosis makes the muscles week and the potential to fall scares me. I go everywhere in the chair. Peripheral neuropathy is a progression of spinal stenosis. Cant sleep because of the symptoms. I am good during the day and keep busy. Have been to 3 MD's for this problem but left their office without any help from them. I have tried CBD lotion, aspercreme, warm soaks with mag sulfate. The symptoms reduce for a few hours, but not long enough to sleep more than 3 hours. Would appreciate what others have done to reduce symptomology

Hi, @calliopy2 - you mentioned your can't sleep due to your symptoms. Has your doctor prescribed something for that, or how are you handling the insomnia?

I also have spinal stenosis and when it becomes intolerable, I have Tramadol. I only take it if the pain is really bad because it is a strong drug. The emergency room doctor is the one who gave it to me. It works.

Hi, @calliopy2 - wondering how you are doing, especially if you are getting any better sleep?
