I’ve read everything regarding R-alpha lipoic acid. Texted my Primary Doctor and he replied in the affirmative. Walgreens has the best price on Best Brand $19.99 for 600mg for 60 days supply. That’s $10 a month. 😊. We’re worth it.

The real problem resulting from the surgeon’s mistakes is pseudo hernia/flank bulge pain. There’s no Group for that to my knowledge. Perhaps there are too few of us. Neuropathy is a secondary reaction to the intercostal nerve damage. Alas! 🤷‍♀️
