I also have a suggestion: This is just for pain.

I have used high gauss magnets for many years (these allowed me to work in spite of my pain) and they can really help in some patients.

Brian here, also had success with them.

Here are some threads:

Neodymium magnets are very strong. Placed over the affected nerve (and you have evidence of specific entrapment), with the South pole down, can block alot or all of the pain. They don't really CHANGE things but over time may train the nerve to stop firing (like the lidoderms do). Since you go to a chiropractor, he/she may also offer these..so ask. They will be expensive that way, however.
I find that the inexpensive ones I get for a buck or two each work very well. One just has to know where to find them on the net. (even Ebay has some). My podiatrist also uses them, and he was interested to see me with my broken toe wearing one! We had a little laugh over that. (he said "looks like you don't even NEED me"...)

If you are interested you can contact me here. When your PM option activates, soon, we can discuss them that way.

Some people do not believe they work. So I don't offer them until other things fail, like you are experiencing.
