Hi Miss_D
I joined a number of facebook groups and also The American Kratom Association and did some investigating. I used trial and error but what is most important to me is the vendor gets their kratom tested for various contaminates. I could steer you to what I consider the better groups. If you posted your question in a group there would be members that would respond, just like here. My neuropathy pain isn't usually severe, it's chronic. Everyone is different so what I use may not work for you.

Generally Red strains are considered the best for pain. At this point I find green strains work better for my nerve pain. I would be happy to give you more information, including vendor info that I use through a PM.
