Dear Paul, I hope things are improving. I love your work and your positive take on this work!
I was diagnosed with CRPS/RSD four years ago--#1 on the pain scale per the national org. Yuck.
Unhappy with the idea of a life of painkillers, I found acupuncture and was legitimately cured within six weeks.
I would highly recommend you find a good LaC (Licensed Acupuncturist) and spend at least one hour a week with them.
I've seen it change so many lives around me since my journey with Acupuncture.
I noticed that many people have recommended magnesium for you. I am a fan!
But... remember that magnesium taken orally is only absorbed at about the 5% level. Sprayed topically you absorb a much higher level. It really does work 'magic' on neurological pain. Careful of sensitive tissue because it sometimes stings and remember that it really doesn't matter where you put it, it all hits the system and works on a whole body level.
Best wishes to you! Be well!
