Welcome to NT

Although I don't understand celiac nerve pain, with all the testing, it is a comfort to know the things it is not. With all those tests being negative, I can assume there's no structural causes for the pain, like scoliosis, bulges, herniations, fractures, tumors, masses... that's great.

I have found alternative methods to help me. I went through 7 years of hell. 24/7 pain due to an auto accident in October 2000. the last couple of years keep getting better.

These are some of the things that helped me.

Meds: they changed from time to time ... actually, they changed a lot. constant tweaking...

I did take muscle relaxers (Baclofen daytime, Flexeril nighttime), Darvon 65 for pain, Neurontin, Celebrex-with Nexium, Lidoderm 5% patches (topical), and tried many others.

Physical therapy:

E-stim, trigger point therapy, hot/cold packs, myofascial release, stretches, whirlpool, home exercises

other things I found helped me
