Are you guys seeing a pain management physician? If so, what options is he giving you? I know you mentioned she does not want to take meds or have surgery, but there are some interventional procedures that can be done. I work with pain management physicians and I will get some ideas for you. My immediate thought is to stimulate the nerve with a peripheral nerve stimulator.

I’ll post tomorrow...

As of right now we are not seeing one. We are trying to get connected with a neurologist who will approve an MRI. She hasn’t had one in two years and they say its not a priority / insurance will not cover it.

Forgive me for not knowing the name (I could probably find it in my search engine), but she did receive from type of laser treatment to help with the nerve damage. — edit: it was a SCENAR machine

Daily medication/pharma would never be a thing for her. Hoping for something all natural, although I know when it comes down to functioning in society without constant pain, it may come down to that.

We have been experimenting with Kratom, as suggested to us by some people with lifelong pain.

Looking forward to your next post.
