My goal is to get off all meds for pain! One step at a time. Instead of being weened I was recently abruptly cut off opioid medication. That sent me into withdrawal and my pain skyrocketed. I’m doing okay with the withdrawal symptoms, but not the pain from back problems! I’m interested in some treatments because I’ve never had anything done for nerve compression, ddd, disks, spine, etc. My back is a mess. I don’t expect miracles but would like to see if minimally invasive options might help, to get me moving more right now. Then I want to start swim therapy.
I have an inversion table that helps a lot. I do meditation and light exercise, stretching, etc. I’m taking a tincture for withdrawal that’s been very helpful for muscle spasms. I’m pretty good with distractions and keeping my spirts up. I see a therapist and am being treated for depression. It’s been part of my ‘self care’ to practice gratitude daily! As I say on occasion, “life’s in session” and I know my attitude matters!
I’m very careful and do my homework before I try anything! There is so much out there that is dangerous and/or smoke and mirrors, not to mention expensive!
I’ll definitely read the information you provided! Thanks
