Do you know any alternative or natural ways to help with chronic pain besides opioids?

Physical therapy. If you can't go, look up on the internet. I was good and she used 3 pounds weights on my ankles and it hurt my back. So if it hurts anywhere besides your muscle as being sore from. Exercise. . If your pain gets worse stop and consult your Dr. The next time I went to pt. She was able to give me more gentle exercises so, I got ok in a few days. The things she had me do rely helped me. Im doing some at home too and it helps. Also, a good anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxers, mild ones so u can take them daily, and lanicaune patches ...also diclofinact gel. It's like a whirlwind getting ready for bed... lol good luck and God bless . Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Hi @Painfree22 I know of an alternative therapy in chronic pain it's called Somatic Equine Therapy. Have you heard of it? [This content has been moderated by an administrator]

@ramoncito I have never heard of this. I lived with severe chronic pain since I was 12 years old. I am 38 now and always looking for alternative treatments. Can you tell me a little about this.

I’m taking opioids for my pain (Oxycodone 5mg 4x a day and I still have pain) but when I wasn’t taking pain meds it was very annoying and uncomfortable and it made my anxiety and depression worse

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

@Somya.P My neurologist gave me a script through the state dispensary for aid with sleep. It helps with sleep. The script is for low dose THC, so it aids with minor pain. I have learned through my trials of product that CBD gummies help with sleep, but not pain. In my state, CBD gummies can be bought at local corner stores.
