Need Help for Nerve Damage

Posted By Bob F. (Waukesha, WI) on 03/24/2024

Five years ago I lifted the tongue of a camping trailer and caused major damage to my nervous system. Symptoms - lower leg pain and ankle pain feeling like I have straight jackets on them, I feel like I am walking on sandy beach or sometimes it feels like a rocky beach, I get chest pains if I lift anything over 5 pounds. It is not neuropathy.

Hi Bob,

You might give consideration to topical melatonin lotion to relieve pain and help nerve repair. Nerve repair takes significant time and melatonin lotion is a fairly non invasive approach to nerve damage. Here is a link to an article where I list 40 issues that melatonin lotion has shown benefit for :

At the bottom of the above link is another link that explains how to make melatonin lotion as well as how it worked in three of my friends and you should discuss this option with your doctor to make sure it is safe to take with all of your existing prescription medications and to make sure it is safe for you for the health issue that you mentioned. If you have questions regarding melatonin lotion please reply in the second link at the bottom of the first link.

Upon lifting a trailer 5 years ago I stressed my nervous system (?) so that I cannot lift over 5 pounds without pain to my chest and then to my feet. I feel like I am walking either on a sandy beach or a rocky beach full time. My ankles feel like they have straight jackets on them all the time.

In addition to Art's recommendations, you may also like to try;

Vitamin B12 (highly beneficial to nerve health)

Magnesium chloride (1 tbs in a foot bath or 1 cup for a body bath. For 15-30 minutes)

Sounds like nerves pinched in a subluxation. I had a similar situation from when I was transferred from a gurney to a hospital bed. Medical staff had no idea what to do so they ignored it. Spent 2 weeks prone and unable to take a deep breath.

Ordinarily, I would have gotten straight onto my inversion table when I got home but couldn't do the stairs to get to the basement SOOO I got a TrueBack, sat on the top step of the stairs (I was afraid if I got down flat on the floor I wouldn't be able to get back up due to the other issues), put it behind me with the high end toward my head and the low end right against my butt and laid back on it. Did some minor adjustments and slightly twisted my torso back and forth to relax the muscles and just laid there, concentrating on relaxing the muscles that were holding it out of place. It took a couple of minutes but then the muscles let go and everything went back to where it belongs. It was SUCH a relief even after only 2 weeks.

Can't imagine the thrill after 5 years!!
