There's a special type of PT that's specific for neuro disorders - not all PT's can do it. Ask your Dr about it. I'm starting it tomorrow; my neuro is big on it. Also, Gabapentin helps me some but doesn't work for everyone.
I have to reflect on this group even though I know it will be offensive to most - but it worked for me:
1. Stop blaming Dr's
2. Stop making pain your identity - get therapy to learn how to re-frame your experiences. Look for a DBT therapist. DBT will help you be in charge of yourself. No kidding, it works.
3. Instead of being victimized by pain (& I'm talking about suffering in addition to pain - I know - I live w/ it too. I'm one of you. I understand) DBT therapy can change your relationship w/pain. Sounds weird, doesn't it? But it's legit & it works!
Chronic pain sucks but it doesn't need to take your life away.....there's something TO DO about it.
4. Be willing to give it up! Submit yourself to DBT & changing not just pain, but your life itself. The depression that goes along w/pain sucks our energy out - just try this - be willing & open. Take charge! Worked for me!
