[QUOTE="ksm, post: 721094, member: 12511"] my son is 43 and has had two spinal fusions over the last 17 years. And because of tests and treatments has had quite a few epidural steroid injections and dye injections for radiology exams. He has had two spinal fluid leaks requiring blood patches. The last one was 6 months ago. Within two weeks he was unable to continue working. He used his 6 month disability policy, which has now expired, along with his job and health insurance. This week, I got him in with a doctor I trust. Not an ortho or neuro surgeon...just a general practice doctor. We found on the CT myleogram that he has arachnoiditis. It is a chronic, debilitating spinal condition where the spinal nerves clump together and adheres to the spinal canal. I found some info on line from a pain management doctor in CA who has a list of supplements and vitamins to take to keep inflammation under control. One item was Kratom...is anyone familiar with it? I would probably need to order online, as I don't trust the quality from local smoke shops. And what is the best way to take it...and how much and how often. I have heard that there are different Kratom blends...what is best type for back and nerve pain? I also want to order Boswellia capsules...anyone familiar with those? My son is just starting the SS disability process...best case scenario...6 to 12 months. No income, no insurance. His girlfriend lives with him and will be paying most expenses for day to day. I am trying to cover medical expenses. Ksm [/QUOTE]
