Hello everyone
I've been reading posts here for awhile. I want to first explain my situation.
I have over 10 things "wrong with me", though not all of them are as serious as other. Here is my list of what I have been diagnosed with: polyneuropathy (small and large fiber), postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) degenerative disc disease, disc desiccation, arthritis, PCOS, allergies, migraines, and other medical problems and challenges, including only one good kidney.
I am obviously not asking for medical advice as I would from a doctor. I'm not wondering about medications.. but rather other homeopathic type treatments that you have found to work for your pain.
I am on the Fentanyl patch, which helps a bit with my neuropathy. However, my back pain is not being helped at all.
I used to get relief from a heating pad on my back--that is the only thing that I have ever found that helps.
Now, because I am on the patch, I am unable to use the heating pad.
I cannot stand to use ice on my back.
I also am bedridden and am unable to move around much.
So I'm wondering what other things have helped those of you with back pain. I do as much stretching/exercising as I can from bed.
Heat and ice are both out, and my TENS unit doesn't help me anymore.
Does anyone else have any ideas that may help reduce the pain?
Thanks!
