Nerve Pain

Post by cami_tennis »

My name is Cami. I rolled my vehicle 7 times when I was 16 and I'm currently 22 now. I have a brachial plexis injury and can't use my left hand very much. I have had never pain since the accident and have been prescriped pain pills for it. I don't want to rely on pain pills the rest of my life to help relieve the pain. Does anyone know of any other ways to help release nerve pain besides surgery and prescriptions?? Please help...

Hi Cami,

I'm so sorry that you are part of this now and that you have to ask this question.

I stopped the medication through the use of Lilt therapy, a laser therapy I've written about here. Just check the list.

It didn't remove the pain but tuned it down.

Good luck and if you have any questions later, please ask them.

My son has been having accupuncture treatments and I think they have helped him
