I tried Kratom for a painful pinched nerve. Here’s what happened. 🤕

As I mentioned in a previous video, I am dealing with a pinched nerve in my neck that is ruining my quality of life. For three months, I have experienced pain in my neck, pain around my shoulder, pain in my triceps, and tingling and numbness down my arm. so many times you hear about people go through pain then get prescribed pain medicine only to get hooked on the medicine which is a danger because often opioids are prescribed.

My way of avoiding the temptation or risk of becoming addicted to painkillers which are often gateways to order drugs and drug abuse, I have basically toughed out all pain in my life for over 40 years. This is becoming a pain I cannot handle. I do not have sufficient healthcare coverage nor do I have the nerves to see medical professionals unless it is of the utmost emergency. It’s just how I’ve always been. But I can also say I’ve never experienced such ongoing pain in my life. I cannot get comfortable rest. I cannot sit in a chair for more than a couple minutes. Driving is excruciatingly painful. I cannot work out. Life has been miserable for the past three months. I’m putting on weight and becoming increasingly depressed.

I started researching alternatives to prescription pain medicine and doctor visits, which led me to reading about kratom. There are claims that this stuff can somehow react with opioid receptors without many of the risks and damage involved and ingesting prescription painkillers. I tried out this powdered version from happy hippo and hopes I would get some relief. In this video, I explain my experience using kratom for the first time.
