Any new treatments for vagus nerve injury? Link to gastroparesis?
I am diagnosed with Gastroparesis. I took a fall prior to the start of my pain. I hit directly on my tail bone on a carpeted step. Didn’t think I was hurt at all. But looking back now 3 years later and love living through many tests, diet, medication and seem to slowing be getting better, could this fall have started the Gastroparesis? Is there a chance of getting to eat real food again without painful results? Lost from 130 pounds to 102 today. From year 2019 tom2022? Any new treatments for Vegus nerve injury??

Hi! I hope this isn’t a duplicate comment bc I just lost the one I was working on!! But I just wanted to say that I am so sorry that you are dealing with all that. I am seeing a PT that specializes in myofascial release and she has a therapist that I will be working with soon that deals with vagus nerve problems and helping to release pain associated with it. Maybe this could help? I find my PT sessions to be very helpful in relieving pain and helping me to relax and get a good nights sleep:) Check out this link if you’re interested. My PT trained under John Barnes and there is a link where you can look up if there is a PT in your area that does this. I hope this helps! Prayers for you and all that are suffering…❤️

I am so sorry that you’re dealing with all that…this cancer is so tough as it wrecks havoc on the entire body. I understand completely how tough it is. I try to take things a day at a time but some days it’s more like 15 min at a time. You mentioned gas…I too have horrible gas every day but mostly in the evenings after dinner. It’s embarrassing even though I’m just around my husband and he understands. I absolutely hate it! Is this part of the cancer??? Do you know what causes this? Do you have any remedies? Thank you for sharing…prayers for you and all that are suffering…❤️
My gas is mostly deep wet gut lining tasting belches .
So many one after other and churning gut .
I’ve learned much over the past 10 years, trying everything.
I won’t go into that much as it’s too much to type .
After 6 th Gastro, I’m on an anti depressant ( it’s an old one but not one I’ve tried before ). I started on like a child’s dose and then bumped up to reg adult starting dose recently.
Thankfully this one isn’t giving me horrible side effects.
I’d say it’s helping about 30 percent.
It does not help w/ sleep 💤 as she said it would.
So I still take my 5 mg Ambien when needed .
I also take .50 mg Klonipin as needed ( that’s been for years ).
I’m taking diff supplements as well . I’ve tried them all . I’ve tried everything they make for gut health on Amazon or online .
I Watch everything I eat . Eat healthy at home 🏡.
I’m so sorry 😢 for your cancer .
Can I ask what type ?
I’m going to pray for you .
God Bless …
Has anyone had trouble with trying to swallow and the food just would not go down? What tests did you have done. I had endoscopy about 4 years ago and at that time the doctor could not find anything wrong. It really hurts in the middle of your chest, until it finally goes down. It also causes so much phlem and have to keep spitting it up!
Doctor is wanting to do Botox shots in esophagus. I am concerned about bad reaction to Botox. Has anyone had a bad reaction?? I have a lot of reactions to medication
I have this too and am
Completely overwhelmed. It’s been over a year . I don’t know what to do or how to deal with this forever.
It’s horrible ! I know … every thing makes me belch 700 x a day and deep wet . These GI issues are 11 years for me daily !
Oh my goodness and no one ever could find a cause in all that time ????
You must be a strong person to handle that for that length of time.
I hope you find help 🙏🏻
Did to get this issue resolved yet?
Yesterday morning I awoke to extreme dizziness like I have never experienced. I thought perhaps my blood sugar was low, so I made liquid white eggs. Not feeling any better (as my dog waits to go out), I sat down in my recliner. All of a sudden I vomited up all that I ate/drank and felt even worse. Then I developed pain in my left butt and leg, severely limiting my ability to walk without pain. My friend thought it was a vagus nerve disruption.I googled same and it sure seems like it was. I am writing this the following morning, and I still have the butt/leg pain. It was painful turning over in bed.Does this sound familiar to anyone? Can anyone lend some helpful advice? Yikes!!!!
