Re: Seeking pain management specialist

Hi :

I can only tell you my own experience. I developed extreme pain in my left

buttock, the glutues maximus (sp?), deep inside that muscle. When the muscle

would cramp, it was unendurable. The sciatic nerve got " squeezed " (according to

my chiropractor) and then the terrible ache would radiate down my thigh, to the

calf, and sometimes to the heel. So it was constant ache, punctuated by horrible

stabs of pain.

Aspirin didn't touch it. Heat didn't help. Massage made it worse. Finally I

found the only thing that helped at all was magnets. I wore biking shorts over

my panties and stuck down in the back between them a couple of pads sewn with

little magnets (like refrigerator magnets.) There are about a dozen on each pad.

I placed these right over the butt muscle and wore them day and night sometimes.

The pain diminished.

Then the pain would suddenly shut off, just like that. I would take off the

magnets. Then in another day perhaps the pain would start up again, and I'd put

the magnets back on. Right now (about 2 months into this) the pain is gone (I'm

doing other treatments, i.e. drinking colloidal silver, so I don't know exactly

what is doing what).

Anyway, magnets are certainly worth a try. That pain is pure hell.

Good luck.

even know a bit about Lyme in the WI or IL area? I am trying to help a friend

and she needs serious help with central nervous system pain. I know it is

extremely difficult to manage, but there must be someone out there. You can

send me a private email if you know of anyone, it would be greatly appreciated.

Everyone of you in this group is wonderful and I wouldn't have come along this

far without you. So, it doesn't hurt to ask? I will start researching a bit

and see if I have any luck I can share with any of you.
