- Neuropathic (Nerve) Pain -- from Toe to Head
Dr. Ian Carroll discusses neuropathic pain, which involves damage to the nerve. The condition causes the nerves to fire incessantly, even if the initial source of the pain has been remedied. The brain responds by creating an ongoing message of pain.
Speaker: Ian Carroll, MD, Assistant Professor, Anesthesia, Stanford University Medical Center

My wife died 3 weeks ago after 4 years of struggling with this pain and how it took both its physical and emotional toll on her.
I wish I would ha e found this years ago. We searched and searched.
God bless you Sir for all you are doing to help people and give them hope.
My very deep condolences,
So sorry you had to deal with this pain the last 4 years of her life. My deepest condolences and thank you for sharing
I am so sorry for your loss! But what consolation you must have given your wife by your obvious love and care for her. God bless you.
God has your lovely wife in His Holy Paradise and Bless you with Faith strenghth and Comfort.
Sending you all comfort and grace. Blessings to you and all who loved her.
I'm a chronic nerve pain person, too. I just want to say thank you for articulating the experience so well. To be not just believed but validated is a pretty wonderful feeling.
Be kind to people, even when you don't understand their experience. Nobody would seek out this life, like a pauper-hermit, just to get out of going to work, I promise you.
@Ronald Krikorian Its a mouthful - "Adult onset tethered cord with giant intrasacral meningocele, " which has caused permanent damage to the nerves associated with the cauda equina, plus my spinal cord having been under tension for 30+ years, which also lead to lumbar arthritis and protruding discs and all that. I also have a connective tissue disorder that causes instability of the spine (all joints, really) so I go to the chiropractor multiple times a month to get everything put back where it belongs.
@@lisakukla459 What is "cauda equina"?
Im at the chiro as often as i can afford. Severe scoliosis and something called "Padgets (sp?) disease". Two discs just about gone btw L3, L4 and L5.
@@janetwhite7786 The cauda equina means "horse tail." It's where your spinal cord ends and branches off into a bundle of individual nerves that go to your lower body.
Nevermind, my comments don't register as valid.
avoid using efan or aircon
8 minutes in and I'm nearly in tears. I wish I had found a doctor with your understanding. I've dealt with chronic pain for over 20 years.
@James Mckeraghan I learned if left hurts try pushing on the opposite side by dr berg.
4.5 minutes through and I'm fully here.. 👌🏽
I so understand ‼️
@ Dee Davis. God bless you Dee. You are in my prayers. Please include me if and when you pray too. 😊 Thanks. I just finished a nap in my chair and a rosary on the phone with a friend and then I turned on my tablet whIch had this good Dr. on it. Wow ! He is good, and I like his style. We must pray for each other. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 😇 😊 👌 Be well or the best that you can be. 🤗
@@bernitacenteno1326 Thank you.
I too have never heard neuropathy explained in this way. I’m 54, and have had three back surgeries, discectomies from T-1 through L-5, and lamiectomies, with spinal fusion, at all levels. I’ve just never been free of nerve pain, even after the surgery. I’m a nurse, and continue to work full time, battling nerve pain every day. People just have no idea how bad nerve pain really is. Along with the nerve pain, I have numbness and tingling from my lower back to my toes, and some days it feels like my legs are on fire. Thank God I’m able to get up and work most days! Remember, it could always be worse…..God Bless.
Jim: I am 64 and a retired RN (bsn) . I am impressed with your determination despite your pain. GBY.
Wow...I admire your resolve!!
How?
I’d rather lose an arm than live in the daily pain I’ve had for 12 years. CRPS has robbed me of any sort of normalcy of a life. This doctor seems to actually care about his patient. ✨ I see most of us here are in pain so here’s a gentle hug 🤗 for you as you scroll. You’re not alone 💞
My baby sister has RSD and suffers every day, such that my kchronic pain issues are but a stubbed toe in comparison.
You are. It alone 💖
If he cared, he would stop poisoning the ppl. Look it up
Hugs back to you, fellow chronic pain (survivor? explorer? fighter?)! I wish you strength, the ability to laugh however you can and a kind, knowledgeable, dedicated pain doctor.
@@SusanWillful thank you...💞 today is a very hard day

This is an intelligent, articulate, compassionate individual! I've been dealing with arrogant Dr's, careless surgeons, malpractice, misdiagnosis, incorrect medications and permanent disabilities. Intentional discrepancies of facts by physicians and am now permanently dependent on a wheelchair at 53. I am now on a helpful regiment of medications but the breakthroughs pains of late are upwards of 8 to 9 on the Richter scale. I applaud EVERYONE who will speak up against the drug companies and thank God in heaven there are Dr's like this gem that are eilling to share this information! Thank you and I will share this information with everyone I can that are experiencing chronic pain. Especially those that aren't recieving this kind of treatment or acceptable relief! God bless!!!
Are you in Canada? I was 51, presented with a true and severe nerve compression injury and I was utterly gaslighted.
All ten doctors I saw at home misrepresented the truth, wrote fraudulent statements in their consult notes and I was purposely misdiagnosed!
They were covering up that metal had migrated in my body and wanted to avoid a lawsuit.
I’m lucky to be alive. I had to hire a registered nurse consultant to get the life saving and sanity sparing surgery I needed!
Doctors can no longer be trusted. They have lost true compassion and caring.
I am in severe pain almost Constantly and am at my witts end. I am on pain meds and Lyrica and just had injections and that did not work either. It's gone from my lower back and now in my groin , my buttocks and down my legs. Nothing is helping it. Now they have me going groin to a shrink because my anxiety over the moon. They treat me like I am crazy. It keeps getting more painful. I can't do this much longer. I have had 2 back surgeries and the last one helped for about a year and a half. Now it is Constantly severe pain. I am at a point I cannot stand or walk anymore. I pray every night to not wake tomorrow. I need a Dr that will believe the pain I am in. I am so done. God bless you all.
@@elizabethmcleod246 God help you, how can anyone describe to a doctor what we are suffering, I’m in wheelchair to and so many drugs that I hate taking. Take care ♥️
@@pikachu7118 I hired a registered nurse consultant as I was on death’s door from severe sleep deprivation and lack of proper pain control.
The nurse advocated for me and followed up with the doctors that had misdiagnosed me, were neglecting me and not sending their notes by fax to the one neurosurgeon in B.C., Canada who could approve my US surgery.
Hiring her saved my life. No doctor in Canada would help me. I was abused emotionally, defamed and treated with no dignity or care.
Thank you for understanding not many doctors do
What an eloquent speaker and so much common sense. If I had a problem I would love to be in his care
I actually started crying just listening to you. When I went to my primary physician, he chuckled at me and did nothing. I now have a neurologist that listened. God bless you. We need more like you.
For some random reason I woke up at 3 o’clock in the morning and watch this. This could be a lifesaver for my sister. Thank you thank you thank you
Dont count your eggs till they hatch. hows she doing now?👍👍
@@trafficjon400 I bought her a tens unit for now. She sees a neurologist shortly. The tens unit has been helping quite a bit
@@jeanh2288 Great care you have for her. i would love my sister to be as you to yours.
@@trafficjon400 Thank you. I will hope for your sister to be close to you also.
I just was in the ER and honestly had a very traumatic experience not being taken seriously and having 4 doctors pin me down to sedate me. I was sent home and they didn’t even try to see what was wrong the doctor pressed my stomach once and I didn’t see her again. This is the validation I needed because what I felt was real and it really damaged a person when you ignore their pain
God Bless You
Doctor. You are intelligent and caring for your patients. Bravo..
I suspect your story could be told one thousand times over.
@@robertschlick44 True. The "opioid epidemic" has caused care to pendellum-swing so far. I have battled practically to the death with pain meds. The drugs didnt address the pain so much as make me not care that i hurt. Im relieved that i no longer have to fight that battle...the influx of fentanyl across the southern border is wreaking havoc and destruction across the nation.
Id be a goner for sure.
Today's doctors are only interested in making patients addicted to pain killers. A cured patient is bad for business.
@@micheleeve6054 aaaa
Thankyou Dr. Ian.
As a chronic pain sufferer for 50 years. ( FYI Adhesions and fibromyalgia etc)
Diet changes and fasting etc have given me degrees of improvements...this talk is the next gift from the Lord in my journey of improvement.
Like many commenters I have been through the ropes of specialists , medications and mistreatment.
Being married to a wonderful doctor for over 40 years ( and knowing many dedicated doctors)
I do not resent them and realise they do their best for which I am grateful.
They do not know everything as my husband says ...and we are all learning always. We are also responsible for our own health as well. Having said that , I've had my share of frustration etc.
Let's move on from now, receive any help such as this and share our experience with others and doctors.
By the way , I'm a Christian so I pray for my doctors not just for myself.
My love and prayers go out to all who have and are suffering like myself.
Not sure why this presentation showed up here, on my TH-cam feed but I’m so thankful that it did. Dr. Ian Carroll is very articulate and informative…and..very honest!! I am saving this to watch..again.. at another time..to glean everything I can from this awesome presentation. Thank you, Dr. Ian 🥰
Same here. I've been on all of these at some point it NEVER been offered desipramine. I just quit duloxatinl I'm calling my doctor tomorrow.
Because you must be subscribed to this channel.
We need more whole body doctors like this, that’s the key. Too many “specialists “ who don’t understand their specialty’s relationship to the whole body
Whole body doc- imagine that luxury! 👍

There used to be Awesome Family Docs who still delivered babies and surgeries. Unfortunately, they were basically "run out of town" from doing those things by placing HUGE Malpractice Insurance fees on General Practitioners !!
Here here
Agreed
From the comments, it seems everyone is in pain, including me! I wish this was my doctor or that I could find someone as knowledgeable as him. He is very easy to understand.
Totally!
Strange. like u were asked

Way back in 1976 when I was in the USN I sneezed really hard and bent over and ruptured a disc in my back. I had fallen several times before with no major issues. I think this may have contributed to what happened.
I was in severe pain and I was subjected to procedures that were supposed to help but only made the pain worse. I was finally placed in Bethesda naval hospital! They seemed to believe that I was "malingering" which is a term used to describe someone who is faking injury or pain to try to get out of duty. That was far from the case! I then needed to go through many tests which ended up being painful due to what was wrong with me. They finally decided that I had a ruptured disc and I needed surgery.
The next day after surgery I was urged to get up and walk and lo and behold the pain was gone!
About five years ago I started having issues with falling and to make a long story short I have severe diabetic polyneuropathy. I was misdiagnosed for 5 months and in extreme pain. It took another couple of months to convince somebody that I needed to see a neurologist. Meanwhile I was placed into a rehab where they kept trying to get me to walk at cetera without doing anything to help my excruciating pain. Even after I got my diagnosis from the neurologist they
would not prescribe anything strong enough because the doctors are all worried about the opioid crisis. Finally the neurologist
referred me to a pain center and they prescribed Tramadol which is the only thing that has helped me! Lyrical made me gain 100 pounds and become bedridden! After going off Lyrica and using Tramadol I lodt 94 lbs and am able to get around again... but I'm still considered disabled. Don't give up no matter how many times people try to tell you it's all in your head or it's some other thing that's causing your problem. You know your body they don't!
What it is difficult to explain to them, not just other people but Drs as well, is that things like Vicodin do not work on Neuropathic pain. Tramadol is a good starter, Percocet works, but the best thing I have found for my ruptured discs and degenerative disc disease is Suboxone. I will NEVER be pain free, but this makes it tolerable.
For the last 25 years I have been having pain. Went to my long time doctor who tried his best, i felt embarrassed cuz i kept having other symptoms pop up due to the main problem which was severe neuropathy in different areas in my body. Epstein Barr normal range 35-50 mine was 750 bottom line Thank you for your insight. I'm not going crazy 😜
Also thanks to all of you who tell your experiences i don't feel so alone🙃
@@pammiestewart1419 Prayers for you. 🙏💜🙏
@@nancydroll6523 I thought suboxone was an opioid.
Thank u so true..have all titanium in my neck from c2 c3c4c5c6 7 I have suffered nerve damage since surgery. This doctor is. Good and explains it very well.
As someone who lives with a surgically severed nerve, I thank you for such a clear and thorough explanation of neurological pain. My experience was eerily similar to your case study’s, I kept being referred back to the surgeon who caused the injury who told me it was all in my head, it took years to get a referral elsewhere which got me a diagnosis.
Do you take nerve drugs?
What is your diagnosis?
Ihop
So refreshing to hear someone with articulate expertise
Yes! It was a great pleasure to listen to. I listened to it several times.
N.k
Wow... we need more doctors like you who actually care about your patients... godbless you Doctor

Not only is this dude brilliant but he also knows how to approach and explain things that most people who are not M.D.s can in fact come to appreciate and from which to gain knowledge. I am so impressed by this 1.5-hour lecture. My brother has had 4 major back surgeries and suffers without break from nerve pain; I am convinced that his surgeons injured his nerves (plural !) to cause his pain. Unbelievably, since he visits doctors because of this pain (doctors who are incapable of helping him at all), some are convinced that he needs a "serious mental health evaluation," like patient "DS" in Dr. Carroll's talk.
Absolutely the most thorough and detailed explanation of nerve pain. I was on narcotic medication for many years following a couple of car accidents that left me requiring a cervical fusion at c4,5,6. The fusion didnt stop my pain, just changed it. Why don't all pain management doctors have this kind of understanding of how pain perception works?
I recommend Dr Oje Abacha on his TH-cam channel for any kind of herbal cure. #drojeabacha
Yes,
WHY indeed😮
I have had neuropathic pain for 28 years and never had I heard a doctor explain anything that came near to what I learned from this amazing doctor!!!!!! You can’t believe how happy I am to have heard this information !
Right?!!!!!? Downright shameful but thankfully we're learning.
Me too
I was thinking same!
@Callie And Her Sweethearts read up on supplements for fibromyalgia, especially magnesium
@Callie And Her Sweethearts I have had back / leg nerve issues for over two decades. Have taken many different drugs (codeine, anti-inflammatories, Vioxx, Lyrica and now Gabapentin) for nerve pains over the years. I now have CKD (Chronic kidney disease) as a result. 3 operations later I am much improved but find I can not take less than 3x100mg Gabapentin as nerve pains return. I actually suspect possibly fibromyalgia and other weird leg sensations like restless legs is a precursor to nerve pain. I had restless legs syndrome before experiencing nerve pain. I still get the weird leg sensations now, but not as severe as before, because I don't wish to take more gabapentin. I found doxylamine succinate helps calm restless legs syndrome. I wouldn't be surprised if that could possibly help fibromyalgia sufferers too. I understand that is not addictive, or hasn't been for me. Worst thing about nerve pain medications is I found weight gain issues.
Not only do people have to deal with the chronic pain itself, the fight with insurance companies will add even more pain. To make matters even worse, dealing with the scorn from people who think you are faking or exaggerating it to get meds is depressing.
Workman's comp is the WORST!!!
They *intentionally* make you feel like the biggest living POS to ever walk the earth, even threatening *surveillance* when I doggedly kept appealing my case !!! That's when I totally gave up on seeking compensation I was *absolutely* entitled to, sinking further into financial devastation.

@Marilyn Dillard same here but mine goes back to 1986. It sure felt good to get a little relief with pain meds but they stopped giving them here. The very meds I'm on is the ones they discussed. Elevil and gabapentin no wonder gab. Didn't work. I'm not on a high enough dose! Now Covid keeps me from going to the Dr. I've been this way for 34 yrs.

This Dr totally understands pain.. someone understands!!!!!
I had 4 back surgeries. Was put on gabapentin for nerve pain and numbness in left leg. It is not working at all. They increase it. Still not working!!! Now I know why. I had gastric bypass. My duodenum was bypassed!!! I am not absorbing any of it!!! Thank you for this knowledge of which I wish my own doctors would have!!!! So frustrating when those who are supposed to be educated make you feel and look like a nut or pain med addict and seeker.
I hear ya Leonor, ditto with me!! I am so sick of my doctors treating me like a “drug addict” don’t they understand that when you have REAL, SEVERE PAIN THAT drastically affects your life, that the meds DONT get you high, they JUST help the pain!!!
gabapentent is a evil drug they use to help start you on her way to a lifetime of government drug dependency

I have another question . I have Parkinson my Doctor says it is psp. Four year ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's psp. In.2014 I had a fall because of that I had t11&12&l22 had compression fracture and soí bad under home kypho plasti procedure.this also did not help. What would you suggest. Thanks you
Wow I feel this everyday and tired of living my life on meds that doesn't work.
Just wow, as a person with pain for decades. This talk explained so much of my personal experience. As a policy maker fighting a worker’s comp system that doesn’t understand pain at all, just assumes workers are lazy drug seekers, this was also very useful. Thank you
Im also on workers comp. They also ruined my life by not getting me a new surgeon. 6 screws and four cross member bars in my back. One screw was in my spinal cord for six years. Now on perminent workers comp since 2001. I would not settle.

At least this doctor unlike the previous doctor didn't dismiss the patient as having mental health problems and patient is in legitimate pain.

I will tell you how irritating and insulting especially for a woman any age to go to doctor with pain and be told it’s all in your head, get your hair done, etc stupid stuff. Do doctors really think we have nothing to do but waste our time and Money to go in and complain of pain. Pain that is visibly ruining our quality of life. Studies prove men with same complaints get help without begging. Hope this has stopped. Back in 1980 it was prevelant when spikes of fibromyalgia reared it’s head across country . I facilitated pain support groups for 23 years at local hospitals. Was heart breaking to listen to patients mostly women who could not be heard by their doctors and properly treated.. great talk.

Agreed, I go to a pain clinic for nerve pain on my low back, especially my tailbone for $150 per visit. I have been a chronic pain patient for over 20 years and I’m now under prescribed due to the opioid crisis. I have been working on getting off of anything because the pain never goes away anyway now.

Great explanation of what chronic pain does to one!! A problem I experienced was that although my nerve pain was controlled with Gabapentin and Morphine…. I found myself ostracized by my Drs when the opioid crisis blamed me and my fellow CP suffers for the epidemic…. While the 20 years of GABA and Morphine was not perfect… I could at least get out of bed and now after years of trying to find relief from others my medical records are polluted with psychiatric innuendo and knee jerk diagnoses. I am sick from hearing Drs explain their views on the damage opiates cause….. I used them over 20 years…. never once asking for more and now on paper I look like a screaming junkie…. feeling shame every time I ask for pain relief

Every single doctor I've seen for pain has tried prescribing me antidepressants to "help" with the pain. It angers me beyond belief that intense chronic pain is looked at as a mental condition or a drug seeker. Thanks for this video. I'm glad someone is still trying to actually help people by educating those that are interested to learn.
Understand that some low doses of antidepressants have been shown to reduce pain. If you look up "antidepressants and pain" you will see the evidence.
Try looking up which vitamin supplements people use for each of your symptoms, especially research magnesium and B complex vitamins.

@@yournamehere6939 I was a passenger in a vehicle that was hit by a semi. I still have small fragments in my spinal cord. One doctor stood in my face and told me it was all in my head, long term pain isn't real. I'm glad I ignored my first instinct to punch him and saw another several more doctors. At least one rxd tramadol that worked enough for me to work, then they cut me off because the DEA decided it should be classed a narcotic.

After two years of trying to diagnose the reasons for my pain, I was given the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. This was not before med students were paraded past me and I was told I needed to seek help from a psychiatrist. It was the most horrible time of my life. When you know you are in pain and you know when and where it first started but you have no answers as to why it has become large and complicated and the medical community has no clear cut answers either you begin to think you really are crazy. some people in chronic pain commit suicide! Living, daily, in unrelenting pain is inhuman torture and having no one understand why is even worse. I wish I had a doctor like you! I should add, all this happened to me in 1990!
So true. You are so right.🌷

He’s wonderful!❣️
Don’t be a nervous Nellie 🤠. All kidding aside. Let’s heal the damaged nerves so I don’t have to take pills for the rest of my life!
Thank you! Dr. Ian Carroll You have given the better understaning of what pain really is and how the vaious treatments can help. ONLY wish that for some doctors have time to explain things to their patients.
Dr Carrol, this is fantastic to hear you speak about this topic. I am a remedial therapist in Australia and I added on modalities of the nervous system, muscular skeletal therapy, the lymphatic system, reflexology, and the brain. You obviously have a huge understanding of this knowledge of nerve problems and the data charts of nerve referral connections to the area that the patient says the pain or stiffness stems from.
It’s all the nervous systems working here with any pain. Which after time causes referral pain that just is never ending. As this pain encompasses the whole body, I have treated my Fibromyalgia patients knowing using these references. I think Fibromyalgia could be caused systemically by years of referred pain. And have found Duloxitine is a great nerve suppressor.
It’s like an onion layer that needs to be slowly pulled apart. Knowing the sections of the body that main nerves from the spine refer to in functional response to Pain, can tell us so much. Especially if say the thecal sac was being pinched by a protruding disc or transverse joint that is out of its structural normal. This pain goes all around the body from tingling to aches in shoulders, scaps, neck, jaw, spine, toes, legs etc. The chemical imbalance that can arise from these body changed functions and alerts of pain often trigger chemical imbalance in the brain of Serotonin , epinephrin etc as you have said. The charts for referred nerve pain should be studied by all medical disciplines. As well as a much deeper understanding of how nerves work with the body. Duloxetine works for nerve pain very well and all associated chemical imbalances that can cause depression in this pain situation.
As for your. audience guy that spoke of getting into bed and having feet aches, stinging, hot or so annoying that you have to shake your leg or feet.I have found this is due to really tight calf muscles putting pressure on the nerve going down the outside of the lower leg. Trigger point massage and releasing parts of the calf muscle will stop this aching pain straight away. The patient needs to push hard into there calf muscles and find the spots of pain and massage deeply to relax the muscle.
Great great speech, your knowledge is so refreshing for all medical, natural and remedial healers out there.
Would trigger point massage help with demyelinated nerves? My husband has mono neuritis multiplex following a vaccine adverse reaction over 10 years ago. He’s on lyrica, duloxotine, patches and about 6 other medications. He’s in constant pain and completely withdrawn hence my inability to name his medications. Due to constant pain, frustration, medication side effects etc he’s like a bear with a sore paw and so hard to live with. He’s vicious and selfish due to pain. Reliving pain would help him and our whole family!

Inflammation associated with insulin imbalances can also be involved. There are many TH-cam sites that you can visit for help regarding his condition. Just type it in or see if doctors sites can recommend the best treatments. Just checking myself it looks as though going onto the Keto diet may help a lot.

@@cosmonation1840 she must be high on dope
So informative! Not everyone who suffers pain needs a psych exam. Nor are a drug seeker. Those deflective assumptions occur far, far too often. Especially when the patient is a female.
In fairness, many medications and treatments had been tried. I think two things are at work, one is the persistent view that people are not in “real pain”, and that everyone likes the way narcotics make them feel, and therefore literally everyone is a drug seeker at some level. I would go as far as saying that most chronic pain sufferers would benefit from psychological and spiritual support. It wears a person down, and depression can easily complicate the picture. Further, sleep disturbances due to pain can prevent adequate REM sleep, leading to real psychological issues.

I have neuropathy caused by bunched up nerves in my buttocks like the top of my buttocks they say. I am losing the feeling in my legs and the ability to walk. This is on top of being the first 500 to get the so-called cure for hepatitis c which caused me to be disabled at the age of 38. Excruciating pain and they over medicated us with oxycontin then it went completely the other way for all you get is beautiful nephron which has no effect on my pain you think that would mean something to us pain specialist but no it doesn't. They just said give you like that's all you get and it's I've seen people respond like they're on heroin when they take that stuff but with me I sat there with just a headache and taken several of the pills and it did nothing didn't make me sleepy didn't make me awake didn't make me talk funny this is asking other people did nothing for my pain and I am at my Wit's end on why can't they do something now I have this neuropathy all these things are coming to fruition cirrhosis of the liver non-alcoholic emphysema fibroid disease and all these these tests so far have been perfectly normal like it's all in your head. Now I'm getting this horrific rash in my groin and area and thought that you know between the thighs and the groin and under my breast and it's wet I've even put anti-perspirant on it and that stopped it just cuz that it's like wet constantly sweating and it's like my sweat is so acidic it's just burning and I imagine it has to do with the liver or something but I don't know what to do about this rash and the pain problems. But I've heard that beautiful nephrine and Suboxone were invented by the same place that oxycontin came from. What the heck is going on. I can't get Vicodin I can't get oxycodone or anything like that and it actually the two were great together because you can take one and then take Beaufort and it keeps the addiction response down I've tried it it worked but my doctors they just keep lowering everything and I was on way too much before oxycontin so much antidepressants Ritalin everything I wanted. And then I mentioned it to another doctor in my doctor got so mad that I ratted him off that he dumped me. And I had to go through treatment to get off to overcome the withdrawals from that stuff. It was a nightmare. But why am I blamed why can't I just have a little bit of pain medicine but now it's like nothing and to be honest I'm 65 I'm so sick of this constant pain now it's getting worse I'm getting less pain medicine it is just and and the socially I'm not validated I'm cruely pushed out of the family a holidays my children just you know think I'm worthless you know and it all came about because I went to treatment and did my 10 steps and their reaction was a whole you'll never get off drugs you know. And and just I'm I'm a faking it for attention and drugs up to a 5 years ago my family thinks this and why would I do that I'm from a college oriented family why would I want to be on welfare so poverty stricken for all my life I have no way of changing it I can't work I can't go to school they destroyed us yet we signed a waiver I mean no doctor even knows anything about it. So they say.

I take Gabapentin, but I've had a lot of weight gain from it, it makes me forgetful and effects my eyesight. But it does help for pain. I just think the side effects makes it almost not worth it.
Ya side effects can be just damage and not good. but pain sucks too.
Best medication for my psoriasis on my scalp. When in a flare up its ultra sensitive to hot, cold, wind, sweat everything.... horrific! But I get so drunk from it I can barely walk.
Same. Switched from gabapentin to pregabalin but it wasn't much better. Quit all med and am managing by fasting. (Three 42 hour fasts per week.) It can't be a long term solution because I'm losing weight instead of gaining. But I'm hoping it will get me through for a while.
I'm on gabapentin too. Can only take at night because it makes me too loopy if I take it during the day. So I just live with the pain ... Doc said my foot neuropathy and arthritis shouldn't keep me from walking. Oh...I beg to differ.

I too have chronic pain my body has slowly fallen apart from cancer when I was 30 which was 23 years ago. I have lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, peripheral Neurapathy, carple tunnel ,migraines I walk with a cane due to balance and not feeling my legs and feet all the time. I have bulging disk and degenerative discs. I spend half my day taking care of my body which has cause caused anxiety and depression. I have a wonderful family and some friends who help me with dealing with all my issues. I'm so lucky to have them. I have lost so much but have gained so much along the way. I have 7 beautiful and healthy grandkids and I have learned to enjoy the small things in life.
How his English language is clear even though I'm poor in English I can understand him very well .. 👍🏻🌹
I appreciate this video SO MUCH. Thank you for being a real HEALTHcare professional & not simply a pill pusher who only understands science, instead of patients as people.
I do agree with the previous commenter have written - it's not straight forward than it sounds to find a natural remedy for neuropathy.
Be cautious and take advice from other people. I searched round a few sites and discovered some great advice by searching google on websites such as Gabs Neuro Guide. Good luck and hope you succeed!
Appreciate video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Dinanlinson Perfect Shape Approach (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for getting rid of your sciatica without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my BF at last got cool success with it.
Are you saying he seems sympathetic? I appreciated it on his focus on the science and his understanding of what people expect from pills.
Winner of a video, been searching for "what are first signs of rheumatoid arthritis?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Peyandon Dumbstruck Primacy - (do a google search ) ? It is a good one of a kind guide for discovering how to eradicate joint pain using natural ingredients minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
From all the doctors I have been to for nerve my pain... I am learning more about myself and condition from your discussion. Why I ask can't any of my doctor's discuss this; even 1/8 of the content you supplied, in order to help patients like myself understand the reasons for our CHRONIC PAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for taking your time to do these conferences, videos, etc. I have been on pain medication for 11 plus years and for the about six of those I was on gabapentin 300mg five times a day and hated every minute of it. I used to call it my zombie drug because I would take it and end up with basically narcolepsy in the middle of a conversation. I drop off to sleep and there was no controlling it I could do that with one pill or with the five doses it just didn't matter. about a year and a half ago I came down with shingles and was having to take gabapentin for the nerve pain and suddenly the gabapentin and I did not mix and one pill would knock me out within 10 minutes of taking it I had no control of my life at that point because I needed the gabapentin for the severe pain that shingles causes. I'm not sure why I have had a problem with shingles but since my first outbreak I have never fully gotten rid of them and as of now a year and a half almost 2 years later I'm still having shingles break out daily it was originally on my chest and back now I'm getting them in my hair and on my face and I can usually tell just by getting stress that I will have another breakout. I was put on the antiviral medication about 3 or 4 days after my first initial breakout and what it seem to have done was stop any further breakouts which at the time I was breaking out in my arm however even though they never came out of the skin I could feel them under my skin and it was worse than actually going through the breakout and then the healing process to date I continually have problems in my arm from this and I see no end in sight. I did research and found that Lyrica was another option tender pain and tried it and I can say that I am a huge supporter of Lyrica. Unlike gabapentin, Lyrica did not give me any side effects. I do not feel as if I'm intoxicated or lethargic or can't stay awake I feel absolutely nothing while on Lyrica other than immediate nerve pain relief it stops the shingles pain dead in their tracks and keeps it away for a period of 12 hours. I'm unsure why they have Lyrica as a schedule c drug I have yet to have any side effects from it and I don't feel any addiction or dependency to it and finally now after a year and a half I do not have to take it three times a day in fact I haven't had to take it for a week now and that makes me extremely happy. As a person who has been a slave to pain medication for so many years I love the fact that I could come off of this pain medication without any dependence or problems and I continue on with my life without it being an issue. I recommend try and Lyrica with any of your patients who have any side effects with gabapentin or an intolerance to it or a resistance to it Lyrica for me has been a miracle drug. On a side note as for the antiviral medication they put me on with shingles I do not recommend giving to any shingles patient unless you catch it before any initial breakout or irritation of the skin you would have to catch shingles almost immediately for it to be effective and not cause any long-lasting effects on your patient. While the medication stops shingles from continuing to outbreak per each outbreak the shingles remained under the skin causing me tremendous problems, pain, everything that comes along with shingles the only difference is it didn't come through the skin so that it was visible to other people. I will never take that drug again I would rather have the breakout and deal with the healing than to use that drug and have the virus sitting under the skin causing me so much more problems and pain. Thank you again for sharing this information and listening to your patients and answering the questions. People dealing with pain especially nerve pain know what we're talking about and it's critical that doctors listen to us because we are our best diagnosers we know what works and we know what doesn't and with nerve pain we need somebody that will listen to us because nerve pain is the worst pain that you can have ever imagined so thank you. If you have any questions about the drug Lyrica or gabapentin from my experiences that you'd like to ask me please feel free to text me I don't typically check my comments to people so I wouldn't see it if you replied here but I would love to help in any way I can because we need relief out there for people like us so please feel free to ask.
Thank you Charissa. Your story helped me.
Study nutrition and vitamins, vit c.
You are lucky lyrica worked. My Dad had a horrendous reaction to lyrica. Within 2 hours of taking it my Dad was unable to even stand .. forget about walking . My mom and I had to call my cousin ( male) and it took 3 of us plus a walker to get him from his chair to his bed which was 5 feet from the chair. It was a nightmare.
Love this Dr. and his presentation. Learned a lot. Thank you. I have spondylolisthesis grade 5. Never did surgery cause I saw two surgeons and got to different opinions. I was in a mobility chair for awhile which helped and my pain management they don't understand why I'm still walking. I have no strength in arms or legs. I've been on pain meds for decades but I'm always looking and listening for some form of relieve. The Dr. that was taking care of me has left the office but he doesn't believe there is any room to put the needle for injections. The nerve treatment you mentioned sounds promising.Thank you sir!
DR IAN CARROLL, THANK YOU, ANSWERED SO MANY QUESTIONS...BEST VIDEO, DR. CARROLL IS #1...
Great info at just the right speed. I feel much more confident in my doctors and drugs, now.
Dr. Ian, you are one smart man!! I have learned more from you than I ever had from any books I have read!! Preach!!! Thank you nerve pain sufferer ❤🙏
Dr Ian Caroll, I do thank you so much for your excellent coverage on nerve pain, explaining it in a way we can all understand. Your interest and knowledge are absolutly awesome, I was glued to you lol, not missing a thing!
I do wish there were more people like you, that had your knowledge. I wish you were in Germany! One gets pretty much left alone with this horrible pain, no explanations, nothing. Its very sad that big pharma is more interested im "safe things and no surprises", than trying to do more. Some things don't change!
Your Documentation is still helping people all over the World - what a blessing you are! 🙏🤗👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Lynda
How are you
We as patients rely on doctors like you that truly listen with empathy when there is confusion with other doctors.
Thank you..... its helping me understand my dad's health.... who has loved with pain for so many years.
Thanks God for doctors 🙏 Thanks doc, you are funny and great at explaining the way we can understand 👍
Thank you for your relaxed and engaging manner, the presentation was informative and easily understood.
I need a doctor like this for my nerve pain! Wish I could find one! I live in Arkansas.
2 Grams Beta Alanine a day.
Look into taking Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) capsules, or vitamin b6 or use red light therapy (633nm, or 655nm)
Kratom helped my son
@@HELPMENOW150 that stuff is illegal in 5 states Arkansas is one of them.
@@albanymountainhomestead and soon to be illegal in more. There is a device Solis, a nueromodulator, which I hear is effective with pain. It has a money back guarantee...about 250 with a lifetime Warrenty. I am going to give it a try for my son
These are excellent videos on aging and Alzheimer disease. Thanks for sharing.
I have got secondary ms and I get nerve pain. I'm on high antidepressant and I have to take pregablim for nerve pain aswell. This Dr is right in what he says. Good luck to you all .
I got two and a half minutes into this video, where the subject patient was referred to a psychiatrist, and I started tearing up. I had to beg my primary care doctor for a referral to a neurologist - he just did not believe there was anything wrong. When I finally saw a neurologist, he diagnosed me with "severe and advanced" axonal neuropathy consistent with Charcot-Marie-Tooth. I was 40. Why I had to fight so hard to see the neurologist I will never understand. Over time, conduction studies also indicated demyelination. At 50 I went on disability, and I've had four foot surgeries and spent a year in a CROW boot. I am exhausted just doing nothing, and everything I do is against this awful wall of pain and fatigue. I take 2,400 mg gabapentin daily, but there are weeks at a time when the buzzing and shocks in my feet and aching in my arms and hands keep be from sleeping. It's bad enough having this, but it is doubly bad that so few understand.
I experience light electric tickling under my big toe nails - it is torture!
🙏❤💌
Thank you for affirming chronic neuropathic pain. Different types of pain, and you comment even when pain spikes when ‘weather pressure changes.’
Thanks
I AGREE 💯💯💯💯💯🌻🌼👍 XOXO Excellent LECTURE FOR US SUFFERING 🙏😇🙏🙏😇🙏🙏😇 NOW
Why nothing on your channel Lady Jane???
Agree as I have said that I don't need the weatherman when the barometer is going down. My pain increases 3 days before. Many of us get this, my grandparents told me about it in the 50s.
Thank you it feels good to understand and be understood. Your videos help me. It feels less distressing to know that there are doctors that have some level of knowledge about what is happening. I didn't just deal with M.S. but two other autoimmune illnesses., So my agrivation is not all MS, sorry.
Thank you Dr.
This video and the care you've taken to explain neuro pain is appreciated by all who see and hear you.
❤️
I have chronic pain in my arms shoulders upper back all caused by injuries to my neck confirmed on MRI. Thank you for such an informative lecture I really enjoyed it. May thanks Mike H - NSW Australia
So much knowledge and honesty is refreshing in the medical system. Thank you for making this and putting it out there for us.
Hi Claudia
How are you
I'm only 24 minutes and 26 seconds in and already I find these points so very interesting and important for medical folk and the general public.
It is also true that psycho-social ... aka, social stress can create a long list of physical health issues. From issues as common as headaches, to "seemingly" mysterious backaches, anxiety attacks and other issues that may leave not much *physio-biolological* trails. Medical personnel need to be more sensitive to external issues of a patient and be willing to ask socially-connected questions and listen more (even if time is short ... asking the right questions will help) to what is going on, before dismissing a case or mis-prescribing.
Thank you sir. I am vet at Palo Alto VA. I suffer from diabetic nerve pain. I take both duloxetine and was also prescribed gabapentin. Thank you for the clearing up how this pain is happening
Bless you. Such compassion. My son is struggling with pain. He had an ablation recently but he looks miserable. He is not on Lyrica or any type meds. He had a fractured femur at 8yo. This has caused him all this back, hip pain since he got to about 45. He has always been very active living in Hawaii. I am a retired RN. I am going to watch this and hope I can get some more info for him. He works in hospital admin and has good health care but nothing as worked so far.
Try Epsom Baths and add a teaspoon of regular salt with a cup of milk in his bath or sponge bath. A few drops of lavander essential oil and also olive and sunflower oil to coat and regenerate nerves. Speedy recovery to him. Extra warm baths will open up his pores and relax his muscles and joints. The more relax he is, the faster the body will repair itself. 🙏 Changes everything. Best wishes💖💪🤔
Wow, I wish a doctor like you was available in my neck of the woods!
Contact doctor mathai all your problem with mr solve
