@rwinney Hi Rachel, perhaps you can give LDN a shot sometime in the future. I’ve read that you can take LDN and an opiate as long as you space them apart, but personally I wouldn’t risk it. I sure wouldn’t want to be sent into withdrawal.
Like you, I have tried many therapies and medications for my pain, but not too much has helped. I get the most relief from wearing compression gloves. Without them my pain is much worse. I’ve not really heard that from others with hand pain so I’m not sure why they help me so much. At least the gloves are inexpensive and you don’t have to swallow them like a pill 🙂
All the best to you, also!
Patrick

@patrick17 I have neuropathy through shoulders, arms and hands with the right (dominant side) being worse. My pain flares on it's own. For instance, I can wake up with my hands feeling as though someone stomped on them with workbooks. Or they can feel fine until I use them. For instance the fine motor skills of writing, typing or gripping. They burn, ache, pain, and may have shooting pains. I've never thought of compression gloves but I do understand the theory. Another for instance ...when my right side from shoulder down is burning and paining so awful, I lay on it to apply pressure. Same idea I suppose as the gloves. Do you mind sharing the symptoms and type of pain you experience in your hands? The best natural solution for me is to wrap my mine in either heat or ice depending on the type of pain. Thanks for any input you can offer.
Best,
Rachel
