Anyone here suffer from chronic pain that doesn't go away with any med?

My girlfriend and I do. Lower back pain and leg pain. INTENSE. No medication ever helps, some only take my mind off of it. Marijuana really helps a lot in High doses. Other than that though there's really nothing you can do as far as I can tell...... meditation, meditate on being in another place, stretches, healthy foods, just trying to be all around healthy and taking care of your body, Strengthening the place that hurts with specific workouts.... That's about all I can tell you...

marijuana

your LOVED bro or sis!

I agree with the taking of B vitamins. Specifically B12, everyday. The daily recommended dose is on the bottle. Also, I take ginger everyday. I put powdered ginger in my coffee (1/2 tsp - up to 4tsp a day). But, you could put it in tea or buy capsules if you do not like the taste of it.

If the pain is localized you can use capsasin or arnica creams. I like the capsasin.

I wish you well.

Cut out wheat, dairy and sugar. Take Magnesium.

Extreme back pain. Wake up with it and go to bed with it. I even dream about it. If I don't run every day, it's really bad. When I run, every step is incredibly painful. Often I start out at a limping walk. But, when I get back I can stand up straight. Then the next day I start all over again.

This plus add lots of fruits and veggies. Multi vitamin that you take at least 2x's a day (verses a bottle that says once a day). Extra B, extra D, and At least double the vitamin C. beyond that I embrace the pain. meaning I mentally say 'is that all you got!' and I also remind myself that it could always be worse. I swear the above helps. Never goes 100% away. but it does bring it down to a bearable level. Good luck OP!

Magnesium MALATE
vitamin D3

At the risk of getting banned again tonight trying to help you folks living in pain...please look into spinal cord stimulation. Search it, research one of the 3 companies that offer the technology, go to the company website and use their physician locator to find a MD near you.

Works extremely well for many of the pain patterns posted here.

RSD...I have had patients pain free within 5 minutes. This tool works...keep your mind open.

rubbish.

Besides seconding weed (and Rick Simpson Oil in particular)
Have you considered biofeedback? It can work very well.


How it works, in simple terms:

You absolutely must read dr. Sarno's books, ESP. Healing Back Pain. Or, google his pioneering diagnosis of Tension Myositis Syndrome on YouTube. His work has changed my life! 90percent pain free within 6 months. Be open to his findings. He is the real deal.

For "Neuropathic" (or other) pain, Neurontin can help, but not everyone, it also can make you really impared so be careful. Neurontin is similar to Lyrica. If you stop it (or Lyrica) you need to taper off slowly. Neurontin is taken 4x a day and Lyrica 2x a day (I think). Tricyclic antidepressants (will make you sleepy often so take at night) Like Amytriptyline (Elavil) or others. Most people don't know about the Tricyclic Antidepressants and pain but HAVE heard of lyrica. Less have heard of Neurontin. Really important with Neurontin to not skip a dose or the pain comes back.

I've heard too of some type of Electrodes that can be surgically implanted the reason I mention it is I know someone who had it done who had severe pain from some type of degenerative disease. I don't know much about it, lost touch with them.

If all else fails, unisom and sleep.

And "Malic Acid." as well, not sure if same thing or different. High doses of Calcium work sometimes if from a quality source. CAN be Calcium Carbonate.

Try Vitamin D3......approx. 5,000 IUs daily.

THe problem is IN your statemnt. Looking for MEDS that will reduce symptoms is NOT a cure.

Most mEDS are BS. Listen to

Migraines ... and I hear you guys, the docs roll their eyes and think you're a pillhead ... family members say "I get headaches too, just go for a walk" or "just take an aspirin" or "stop dwelling on it." How can you NOT dwell on something that permeates every cell of your body, throbbing with your every heartbeat?

Ask your doc for a referral to a pain management doctor. They're very good and will give narcotics if necessary, but also work to help in non-med ways. Physical therapy did vestibular therapy; that affects the way my eyes coordinate with my head and body, crazy sounding but did help a little. Massage if you can afford it, especially craniosacral massage of the head and neck. Keep a food diary - some foods make things worse, though you start to feel like a hypochondriac, afraid of stuff that will make you feel worse to the point of becoming a hermit. I understand. I live it. My husband couldn't live with it and moved on.

One benefit that came out of all this was a deeper spiritual connection. Lay down and ask your pain why it's here, what it wants from you. Visualize what your pain looks like, what it sounds like, what it smells like. Get to know it. Ask your pain questions and see what kind of response you get. You may be surprised. I came to understand karmic past-life stuff and also that I agreed prior to this life to take on some pain to alleviate some of Mother Earth's suffering. Many thousands of us empaths did that. You all might be a part of this, I know it sounds crazy or egotistical, I never tell anyone but it helps to endure it when you understand you have a purpose to your pain and it is alleviating some of the stress on our Earth Mother.

Ask your pain some questions and be open to wild and unexpected answers.

Take a 10% sulfaur cream and mix with castor oil
Rub the pain away!!

Walk it off, get over it, fight through it.
On really bad days take it a bit easy or grab a nice hot shower and pamper yourself.

Messed up my back and I have RA and two huge screws in my heel bone. Been on every drug including constant home dosages of Morphine(Avinza), went to hydrocodein and back and forth.
You'll eventually just hurt your liver taking prescriptions.

All you can do to at least keep your health is learn to accept that your hurting and build your day around how you feel.
Some days will be ok, some won't.

Eventually your brain can raise it's tolerance level somewhat, like when your ears are ringing and you start to learn to deal with it, so should the pain be dealt with.
