Has anyone used low dose Naltrexone for chronic pain? And did it help? My doctor just prescribed it for me.

How did this work out for you? I hadn't heard of this before, and even though it is off-label, it sounds intriguing.

Yes I tried LDN, but it did not help me. I wrote about what has helped me in the book I wrote about my CRPS journey CAPTURING HOPE by BJ Rae.

LDN was NOT one of the things that helped me.

But many other things have made a huge difference. I used to be bedridden with suicide level pain. Now I can drive myself where I need to go, help my friends who are disabled by driving them where they need to go, and I m now learning karate.
