Naltrexone for pain....anyone else take this

Posted by cindymattern @cindymattern, 23 hours ago

Recently I went to pain management and I was given low dose Naltrexone for pain and muscle issues. It's used off label and I take 1 mg daily. I have spinal stenosis in my l4/L5 as well as issues with my legs and weakness (have also had a right knee replacement). It has actually helped about 60% but if I walk too much, mow grass etc... then I have some issues. Hoping that 1.5mg will help more. I just want to do the things I used to do without paying for it every night. Don't want opioids, surgery or PT anymore (been there lots).

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.
