Im not new but i forgot and remembered this place, i was on the face book pain communities but they are really dissapointing i thought. Then i remmebered this place again.

Im 2.5yrs out from a 4 level crev. fusion and have had unchanging chronic neuropathy and mylopathy in mostly the feet and legs. it feels like im in boiling water all the time. looking for anything for help and i mean anything, im at the end of my rope.

(some of you may know me from spine-health from awhile back)

Hello david

hi dd looks like i found a better place to be, its good to see someone out there.

if anyone wants to friend me on fb its the same name

Welcome back...

I'm not familiar with those other communities. I belong here.

It's been real busy and frustrating lately.

Life keeps coming at you.

I'm so sorry to read about your bad conditions you're suffering with. It isn't fair, seemingly, but it is what it is.

I don't know if you've heard of LED and infrared light therapy pads, but they got me back to doing things I had gave up on. There was a DVD where the National Neuropathy??? endorsed them. There are many varities on the market. I can only say my brand works for me.

Here is a site to read about. I'll share lots if you're interested in them.

There are no quick fixes.

Another thought. have you checked into stem cell possibilities. I seen a woman after stem cell therapy and she was awsome. She could walk after a terrible motorcycle accident.

Don't give up yet. I do know suffering 24/7 is a horrible state to be in. My heart goes out to you.

I pray you do find something to start getting relief.

Keep looking and asking...

Dave,

Happy to see you have come to be with us. As you can tell there are great and caring friends here to assist you, just let us know if we can be of any help. Our shoulders are here for support in many ways.

Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I've gotta say, Dave, if I forgot this place--& got to remember one place--THIS would be the place I'd want to remember. This is my place. As (Broken Wings) said, "I belong here."

As for the pain.... The light therapy fascinates me--never heard of it! You've probably tried acupuncture; it's yesterday's news as far as pain control is concerned. But I had to ask because it's done so much for me.

Welcome back. Don't be a stranger.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome

yes ive tried it all and got little relief, my last PM doc was all into PT, he seemed to think this was the answer to everything. It does help as far as your overall health and well being and does certainly help in that way but it didnt do squat painwise. I go up and down and now im really down. I need to get out of this hole im in somehow
