@faithwalker @jesfactsmon Hi Hank and Renee, First, Hank, you are just simply the best. You could be the secretary of Connect, being how well you keep track of everyone here. Thanks from the heart. Renee, my heart goes out to you. Yes, I do remember writing to you in the past, and I am here to perhaps help you. Notice the perhaps, because with pain, you really just never know. First, Calmare (Scrambler) therapy must be mentioned. It is a device that brings electricity to where you hurt and there is good research about it with CRPS patients. I had it done in 10 sessions, 45 minutes per session. It alleviated pain quite a bit for about 3 weeks, and then stopped helping. I repeated these sessions, and it did not help at all. I am still telling you because I have met 2 CRPS patients that it helped very much. I also have the DRG stimulator for about 3 months now, and it barely does anything to help at all. Seemed I had about a 50% relief of pain during the trial, but it just is not working with repeated adjustments, programs, etc. Next to see if my wires have migrated. Any insights about the DRG that you have would help me much, just to know what you think may have gone wrong. Lastly, most importantly, is Kratom, because Kratom is the only good thing I know of to take for severe nerve pain. However, it is not FDA approved, and the moderators would rather I speak of it in private messages here. Please, let me tell you about it if you are interested. Message me at LoriRenee1 I am here to help, if I can. Lori
