Don't give up on Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia

What to do when experiencing chronic and debilitating pain?   As I share with you my current experience with chronic pain, I gained a better understanding of your plight.

The final statistics are not yet available, but so far, over 45 million jobs lost, and we are being prepared for half of them not returning because of bankruptcies and the post COVID “New Normal”. Yes, here we go again. COVID-19-2 New Normal. “Never let a crisis go to waste” is usually considered a sly divisive tactic to pit groups against each other, but let us not waste this one.

Morton’s Neuroma – The nerve podiatrists try to cut, poison, cook or freeze to death

Posted on 10/4/2019 to GLoves off
Morton’s Neuroma – The nerve podiatrists try to cut, poison, cook or freeze to deathIf you suffer from Morton's neuroma, our best advice is to understand the root cause so you can make a better decision about treatment.  Podiatrists are quick to bring out the syringes and scalpels as well as offer various methods of ablating the nerve using alcohol (poison), cryogenics (freeze) or radio frequency (cook) the nerve to death.  Aside from numb toes, the pain may not be gone as nerve tissue, like any other tissue in the body tries to regenerate and repair itself.  Phantom nerve pain is still pain.  The root cause of your neuroma pain is the mechanics of your feet, so perhaps the answer is to improve it.
