Epidural-Traction Collar low pain levels

Hi everyone.

I am pleasantly surprised by the result achieved by the pain doc. We did a epidural between c4 and c5
Lots of degeneration. Damage from abuse in childhood etc...

I have a traction collar now also, if the pain climbs above a 6, the collar goes on. Of course I can not drive.
with in 15min, the pain is down to a 4 95% of the times. I think this is continue because this is a physical action raising the cranium off the neck, taking pressure off the TN and other nerves, especially the ocular [?]
If the does not recead, I vap, with blue sliver tip buds, best for migraines. this does the trick.

I am cautious only because it has only been a week and so many other things helped then sputtered out.
but the traction collar, if it works, I will wear it the rest of my life!!!

Peace all

Hi Trina,
I had epidurals too. They are only "temporary." That said, if you got relief for a week, that is a good indicator of where your pain originates. This information should help your Orthopedic doctor in case further intervention will help. Hope you feel better!!

Since I am exploring the CBD/Hemp Oils now, if you feel comfortable, please send me an email with your advice for general inflammation, depression and migraine. I have never vaped. I heard that is the only way to "rescue" a migraine in progress.
