Nothing works for nerve pain, so this experience interested me.......
As for it working or not... I'm no Doctor but I am aware of what I take for pain control and what works for me. My original surgery was a lamenectomy to stop sciatica. I had for many years used anti-inflammatory drugs. They never quite stopped the pain. Spinal injections by a self styled pain control GP had some effect but it never lasted very long. I've formed the opinion now that there are two types of back pain. One is as a result of inflammation usually caused by narrowing of discs (slipped disk) and the other is just plain old back pain that can be treated with pain killers.
Anyone intending to 'try' PEA needs to be aware that it has the most effect where inflammatory pain is present. It is not in my opinion a 'pain killer' and it costs some serious money to keep buying it.
I was on 180 mg of Morphine daily for nearly 5 years. It didn't really stop the pain from several back operations and an infection of Golden Staph. The last surgery was monstrous. 2 steel rods, 12 bolts and several plates to hold fusion of L2, L3 L4, L5 and S1 and no... I can't do up my shoe laces now! I hope this answers some questions and opens the door to how to get it in Australia.
