😢
I know that there are more than a few million of you out there suffering with the pain from a pinched nerve or multiple nerves.
I am sorry that you have to deal with this; Regrettably, many of you can be treated with surgery to resolve your pressure-on-nerve conditions. But...the hated insurance. The equivocal surgeon. The waiting list for a procedure.
Have you given up? You've considered it, I know. That invisible BURN of a pinched nerve can be the cause of those drips of tears from your eyes. What have you tried...?
Stretching and light exercises.
Hot packs...Cold packs.
Anti-inflammatory drugs.
TENS Units to try to distract you from pain by attaching a small shock to the skin.
Epidural injections of various types.
X-rays and MRI scans.
Did you get visits to an interested physician along the rocky trail who prescribed a strong medication to ease your pain? I sure hope so.
The prevailing assumption propagated by the CDC, Centers for Disease Control; FDA, Food & Drug Administration; Congress, and the myriad of directors of HMOs around the country became 'everybody is a drug abuser, an addict, a conniver who wants pain pills to resell them. These leaders are dead wrong and I wish they all suffer a serious pinched nerve that radiates down a limb.
More on nerves next time.
