Nerve pain - how I can relieve pain naturally?

I've had nerve pain for 4 years. I am trying to quit the narcotics I think they are causing me other problems, I want to quit badly -= but my pain totally gets out of control if I do.
rotated T11-12 and I've had 2 years of physical therapy - 15 months of chiropractic, I have an appointment scheduled for acupuncture, I'm not sure what else I can do. thanks

Hot water therapy ,mineral salt soaks and rubbing your legs with natural pain relievers, containing capsicum is also very soothing. As for supplements ,I guess that would depend on why you have this as to what would be recommended . Seeing a naturopath or chiropractor may help you ,they go to school to learn these things naturally . Both could also have machine's ,therapies and hot pads to help your pain .Its horrible living with this in some cases always being present. So relieve is the best you seem to get. Or surgery for something that may not help!

First... pain is very non-descriptive.To enable anyone to give you some suggestions, one must know the what and where of the condition..What was your diagnosis? What is the prognosis? When did it start? What course has it taken since inception? If you indicate some of the areas involved, anything other than just saying pain. Thanks.

Hmmm...you can try pool therapy. I know a lot of people in similar situations that have benefited from gaining overall strength through pool exercises as simple as walking across a chest-water-high pool. Once you master this with little pain, try side-stepping and stepping up onto an aerobics step, all in the pool water. If anything causes severe pain, don't do it. And have a helper in the water with you. At the end of a 20-30 minute period of activity in the water, take a "funnoodle" (those long tubes of styrofoam) or even 2, wrap them around your body (and under your armpits) and float in deeper water for a length of time. I can just about guarantee that you will at least feel better while you are floating in the water.

Keep taking some pain meds while you experiment w/other techniques.

Have you also tried a personal electical stimulation unit? Companies like Empi are always happy to let you use a unit (under guidance of a physical therapist) for a trial period.

Also, more seriously, is your condition operable??? There are some very serious potential risks, but i've known many people who have had immediate success with several types of surgeries.

email me if you have any questions or want any referrals to great doc.s. in what region do you live???

This is a generally question that is hard to give a specific answer. Is it "generalized" nerve pain or do you have pain in specific areas/pattens. Did this pain occur suddenly or was there something that occurred at the time symptoms appeared that might have triggered it? Are you under a lot of stress? There is a good chance that your dependance on narcotics is/or has been affecting your nervous system. If you've been taking narcotics to help alleviate your "pain" then your body has developed bad dependancy where the narcotics/meds are not going to be as effective. Taking more will only further complicate your problem. The best thing for you to help you out is something that is not easy to follow thru with. You need to GRADUALLY wean yourself off the narcotics all together. You WILL go through a withdrawal period where your body will probably have more pain and crave the narcotics but if you get through this period then your body will be able to heal iteself.

Have you tried an epidural shot? If not, you should see a pain management specialist to see if you would qualify; you most likely will. It is similar to cortizone, but stronger. They usually do it in a series of three shots. Ive heard good things about these shots for people who are in immense pain. Also, you should get a few opinions to see if your condition is operable. I feel for ya and hope things work out
