My wife was hit by a car in April 2019 and I've mentioned on here before about how her sense of taste and smell was greatly diminished due to a concussion. 3 months later she started having intense back pain. The doctors were hesitant to associate this problem with the accident, so it was not included in the settlement.
Anyhow, she's found that activated B-12 works well for nerve pain and has reduced her use of steroids subsequently. I thought perhaps glucosamine would regain cartilage growth. I used it when I developed a pain in my knee and I'd feel it going up our stairs after jogging at night. Glucosamine worked well for me, at least. The problem is getting my wife to take anything at all, especially if they come in large-sized pills. She's already taking other stuff, so it would have to be good because she doesn't want to take many supplements. If people have recommendations, especially based on experience, advice would be greatly appreciated.
I've been into alternative medicine for 15+ years already, but I've learned a lot by coming to this forum. GEOTUS talks about medical breakthroughs coming and we've seen the suppression of stuff like HCQ and Ivermectin. I'd never heard of Fenbendazole before coming to this forum. Please help if you can. She goes to physical therapy nearly every Saturday. I have a stretch ball, but I'm surprised they don't have her use one at home. I use it when I have lower back pain, and bought it 12 years ago at a chiropractor's insistence. My wife was doing well over the summer, but now with the weather cooling down, she has difficulty boarding a bus with its steep steps when she goes home. What about even stuff like eating more red meat? Thanks in advance.
Will she try acupunture? It took only 3 sessions to alleviate my son in law's disc pain he suffered with for a decade. It has been better for nearly 2 years. Since her injury was so violent, there may be blockages that this could really help with. Be sure to get reviews or referrals to find a really good one - beware of quacks.
We did Chinese acupuncture in America and my wife got pregnant right away as a result of the doctor treating her for infertility. Our daughter is 14 now. We live in Japan now though, and they don't use acupuncture for any health problems other than pain issues. I've only done acupuncture once here and it was for pain management.
Aside from her PT appointments on Saturdays, she and I go to a Japanese-style ortho doc where we get hooked up to electrical pulse massages and physical massages. I'm dealing with tendonitis in my arm myself.
