Has Anyone Had The Nerves Burned For Neuropathy? I

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lubbock, TX

I’ve had it done before with no success but it’s been a very long time and li don’t remember it. Is it painful afterwards? I have to travel 3 hours after they do it. Any suggestions??

Traralgon, AU

How do I get through my life every day, when I get embarrassed walking down the street because I cant even manage to carry my groceries at the supermarket and my pain is too bad to manage?

I Am Wondering If Any One Is Using CBD Oil?

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Kingman, AZ

I have been using cbd oil for 6 months and I have been able to cut way down on my opiate meds. It is really helping with my fibro. However, not so much with my joint pain right now. May have to have hip replacement. Any way if any of you are using it I would like to know how you like it...
