For the past 12 years I have suffered from neuropathy in my legs and have been taking Lyrica for pain.
Recently the pain has worsened so my doctor prescribed Magnesium.
Has anyone else taken Magnesium for pain and has it worked?
I use magnesium for pain. I use a chewable, and it is very effective for muscle cramps. Be careful, too much causes loose stools.... best of luck.
I take this is it something that can be taken long term or for a short time. I have for my neck pain n depression along with others.
Thank you
I do not know if the medication is even still working for my pain. I just am wondering if there are other meds for my pain due to some possible new side effects. Or is it affects?
I'm just the opposite I take 300mg twice a day. And I get lethargic with out them.
Lyrica has the same properties but 4x as expensive. But I think meds affect individuals differently. 🤔

Thanks @A MyChronicPainTeam Member for the useful and clear explanation. Did you obtain this treatment on the NHS? I have had long term chronic pain for 15 years. I hate the amount of drugs that I… read more
My doctor wants to do a laminectomy on L4-L5 because I have bulging/leaking disc and synovial cyst pressing on my right sciatic nerve. I don't have any family around so I will have to pay someone to help me out after surgery. I am wondering if it will be a long recovery and if I will be able to return to work without pain before 2 weeks (because I'm broke). I also have the same thing on L5-S1 with a cyst on the left side there but he didn't want to fix that yet. Everyone I know who has had back… read more

I get severe Charlie horses in just about every part of my body. The worst ones are on both of my sides and rib cage right under my breast. Just a slight turn either way or leaning forward in the sitting position triggers them. They are extremely pain that they sometimes take my breath away. I also get them in my hands, feet, legs etc. But the ones in the side are the worst. Does anyone else deal with this issue? If so do you know the cause and if theirs anything to do it help. Thanks for… read more

Back pain from DDD, goes down my legs and I cannot sleep.
I take cbd oil with a bit of the for bed time. During the day 3 times I take a half a gummy and oil with no thc 3 times a day. Cold pack for back and Dr ho vibrator for neck. Manageable
I have lower back pain for years. Now I have Sciatica along with everything else. I have gone to Neurologists, Ortho guys, my Primary, a Chiro and a few others, and mostly the only thing offered to me is Drugs. I can have "anything I want" from Asprin to Percoset. I dont want any of it. I want to find a treatment or cure that I can actually live with. PT doesnt work for me bevause it only brings on more pain. I'm 71, I'd like to enjoy the years I have left.
Yes Yvonnelewis. Does tiger balm help your joints.thanks Lorraine xx 😃
My pain doc wants me to try a nerve block on my back. I'm willing to try anything at this point. If you've had it done, is it painful? Does it hurt? I have DDD, stenosis,and L-4 and L-5 are herniated. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
You need to find a specialist who knows how to do it and has a CT or at least an ultrasound available. It can help you to patch up the pain for 1 - 3 months depending on the stage of your herniated… read more
We all rest. I am almost professional at it. I awake some times feeling well rested, other times I am immediately ready to go back to sleep again.
Weed. You will feel better and get sleep.
