After a year of treatment my symptoms have got a lot better.I had every symptom on the list!!!! One that Ive had from day one and is still as bad as ever is nerve pain. I call it nerve pain, its a stinging stabbing real sharp pain I get mostly in my lower back. It also happens in my abdomen and even in hips. Right now it feels like someone its stabbing a knife in my lower right back and right side! Also I get severe stiffness in my lower back. Any suggestions????? Thanks to all of of in advance.. And thanks to the wonderful people who make this forum work! Ive got a ton of very useful advice on here over the past year!!!!!!!

justin - what have you tried for nerves? Have you worked on helping the nerves heal with supplements?

ALA, N-Acetyl Cysteine, B vitamins are some of what I have been taking for nerve healing.

Also, you can get a topical cream - Capsicain (sp?) - and it burns at first...but gets better after awhile.

I have burning nerve pain around left shoulder blade, left arm, and hand.

I am currently taking a break from the ALA, L-Cysteine - i needed a break from all pill swallowing.

I am finally getting some better days - I think in my case, it's because of treating the infection that I am getting improvement (in small increments) That was my first symptom and since it's been around the longest I'm thinking it will be my last one to go.

Well, for me the nerve pain is in specific areas that I previously had pinched nerve symptoms. My left arm went numb and limp one night - at the same time that I woke up with excruciating shoulder blade pain that shooter up my neck to the back of my head.
My arm was so weak - instantly - couldn't do much with it...then it developed into 'frozen shoulder'.

But, as time went on the feeling came back in my arm and it turned into nerve pain, starting from my upper back(left side) down my arm to my hand.
It is different kind of pain than my joint pain. It is a burning pain, and my arm actually gets hot - it's always a warmer temperature then my right side.
My hand pain isn't a burning pain like my arm, but it's different than joint pain..or muscle pain. I can't really describe it...
When the nerve pain flares, so do my internal vibrations in the same area of my upper back - and that is definitely a nerve issue.

I have joint pain, too, but sometimes I don't notice it because the nerve pain gets all the attention.

Just started some that was suggested on Buhner website. Lions mane and cordycep and chinese skull cap. So maybe those will help.

In a little over 4 months, Buhner's herbs have done more for me this year than anything else. (and I'm taking these same herbs and some :)

Hope you get some relief!! (um, surprise, surprise - per Buhner, it can take as much as 6-12 months for the symptoms to clear but you should notice *some*thing within a few weeks)

Something that some are finding helpful is Lion's mane tincture
