No, I have not done the TENS Laser. But I have done the laser blood irradiation on my own. I purchased a couple of 650nm 1mw laser diodes, you can place them on an artery or stick them up your nose 20-60 minutes up to 3 times a week. I feel in perfect health after a session. The other more powerful caliber 850nm-935nm for neural healing is the stuff I am really interested in as well. I will be back later tonight and tell you more. I have seen many positive rat studies on damaged spinal nerves.

I was interested to hear of your spinal situation. I have had my spine fused (many years ago) and was wondering if my diagnosis of PN was correct, or if this is really all from my spine, since I've been told I have some stenosis and 2 bulging discs. I guess the symptoms can be quite the same. I'm waiting for an appointment with either a neurosurgeon or orthopaedics person--whichever my doctor decides.

Sallyanne,
I completely understand what you are going through. I too have trmendously painful PN. Walking is a chore and very painful. My life has been turned upside down. I will say that in order to sleep and help take the edge off the pain I use Medical Cannabis. I have found it to be the only method for taking the pain level down to a manageable level so I can sleep. I still wake at night but the pain is not that bad. During the day at work I have yet to find anything to help ease the pain. I cannot take any type of pain meds as I need my head 100% clear. I am a computer systems engineer and a small mistake could cost my customers millions of dollars. So I just deal with the pain during the day. When evening comes I am wiped out both mentally, emotionally, and physically. I have created a healing/relaxation space in my house that helps me to relax and help things calm down. I wish I could recommend some other things but I have nothing else. Hang in there. Look to family and friends for emotional support. God Bless!!! Dewey Quote:

So the pain is because your nerves are still healing and not because your brain starts receiving pain signals for the rest of your life, right? Pain is propotional to the healing of your nerves

Hello folks.
I am encouraged by your posts, but am still struggling with fear and anxiety. I am experiencing severe and burning throat/neck pain along my clavical, trapezius/scm and under/around adams apple on that same side. Also, pain behind my head on that side and tingling/paresthesia in my left hand. I hope I have not permanently damaged muscles or nerves in my throat somehow...a very frightful prospect to be sure. (and I know anxiety makes it worse.) Any help, ideas, or encouragement is much appreciated, and I can honestly say I feel your pain. |

Some suggestions are exercise, muscle relaxation exercises, yoga, massage therapy, acupuncture, and prayer if you are religious. Find someone to talk to that you trust that may be able to help you see things differently and provide helpful advice and support. Best wishes..... |

"I am almost certain that gabbapintin is part of the cause of my neuropathy"
I just started taking Gabapentin yesterday and would be very interested in hearing why you think it caused your neuropathy? Thanks....! |

It is not from any medical experience it is just that since i started taking gabbapinton it just seemed that my PN became worse . I took it for about a year religiously like i was told by my pain management doctor. I really started having serious hate ons for the doctors since then . Its just that with all the meds I have taken in the last 5 years , the gabba was the only one that I saw any type of change for the worse with . Could really have been my own imagination I guess , but still ....
