Hey all,

I wanted to ask if anyone has had experience using topical creams for treating chronic pain. I am sick and tired of ingesting pill after pill after pill and would like another more relaxing option. Are there any good, reliable options that I hope do not have too many side effects? I am not very sure how they work. Can someone explain it to me please because I heard there are levels of intensity and whatnot that seem to go over my head.

Thank you

Hi @curtaincall

How are you feeling today? Thank you for opening this topic of discussion. Consuming medication can sometimes be exhausting and finding an alternative form of medication may be a viable option.

What do you know about topical cream treatment for fibromyalgia? Have you or someone you know used them with positive results? Where do you stand on its use? Are there other potential alternatives that you could suggest?

@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.
