pain relief ideas

Venting is definitely OK @cheryl69. Wished I had some magic answers for you as I can't imagine how difficult it is for you. I have neuropathy, degenerative arthritis and a few other conditions but fortunately only have the numbness with the neuropathy and my arthritis is just some pain I've gotten used that I've learned to live with. Sounds like you have already tried a lot of different things. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a pretty comprehensive list of treatments including complementary and alternative treatments that you might find helpful to see if there is something you haven't tried - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/.

Thanks honey appreciate it

Yes, pain is something others can’t really understand. Have any meds helped at all? I was put on Tramadol, diclofenac K, and a muscle relaxer after I injured my back. They helped a lot. A year later I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted which helped mitigate my pain to the point where I was almost back to normal.
Of course, nothing lasts forever. Currently I am on a pain pump trying to get the dosage adjusted to therapeutic level.
I’m not sure if any of these are an option for you, but they are worth checking out. Whatever the case, I wish you well.

I have been using the Buprenorphine patch. It is 15mg. You change it every week. If it for chronic pain sufferers and others. I have been using it since February. Combined with various vitamins, it has been amazing for me. I have been on every pain medication known to man. As a veteran, the amounts were ridiculous from the VA. I was fed up. Going cold turkey in the winter, it was a nightmare. Thank goodness I am getting better now. Hope this helps.
