Chronic Pain members - Welcome, please introduce yourself

@artscaping and @contentandwell

Here is some information I found on Mayo's website regarding hyperbaric-oxygen therapy. I thought you might find it interesting as well as informative - I certain did!

@hopeful33250 Thanks Teresa, that is really interesting. I never knew how many conditions it was used for.

@contentandwell Me neither - it said that is used for skin grafts so I guess you were right about it being used for victims of burns. Something new everyday! Teresa

Is hyperbaric oxygen therapy ever used for Burning mouth syndrome or Trigeminal neuralgia? Thank you so much!!

@lauren123 You can take a look at the Mayo website, http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy/basics/definition/prc-20019167 under "Why It's Done". It doesn't list Burning mouth syndrome or Trigeminal neuralgia but you could talk with your doctor to get his/her opinion. Teresa

I am marylou8 and have a lot of autoimmune issues which have left me with chronic pain.

Thanks, Teresa. I did check the link and saw that these conditions were not mentioned. I'll check it out with my Pain Management doctor.

I am Ed Pugh. Have had two surgeries at Mayo but continue to have chronic pain. Further treatment is being explored. Have an appointment in 2 weeks. Also have had a c4- c5 corpectomy and have neck pain and difficulty sleeping. Would like to continue my meditation but my breathing is now interupted with extreme burping to let off pressure, so it's difficult. Situation is compounded by inability to lay down without exacerbating pain and cannot get comfortable in a chair or recliner.

Hi, I am Marield65 and if you stick with reading all these messages you will get the help or inspiration from the members. Just stick to it and don't ever give up.

Thank you.
