💊 Does Vitamin B12 Reduce Diabetic Nerve Pain?

If you live with diabetes...
...chances are you’ve felt that burning, tingling, or numbness in your feet or legs.

🧑🏻‍🏫This is what doctors call diabetic neuropathy.

Many people are told to take Vitamin B12, but the real question is...

"Does it help, and how much?"🤔

🧠 What Vitamin B12 Does

Vitamin B12 is vital for healthy nerve function.

It helps build and repair nerves💪🏻

☠️When you’re deficient, nerves misfire, leading to tingling or shooting pain...
..especially if you use medications like Metformin...
..which can lower B12 levels over time.

So, yes!!

👊If your nerve pain is linked to a deficiency, supplementing can help repair and protect your nerves.

⚡ When B12 Alone Isn’t Enough

If your nerve pain comes from poor blood flow, inflammation, or long-term nerve damage...
..B12 alone won’t solve the problem😔

B12 may ease some irritation.

That’s why many patients say, “It helped for a while… but the pain came back.”

To truly improve, nerves need support... oxygen, blood flow, nutrients and repair.

🌿 The Medipain View

🙏At Medipain, we treat diabetic nerve pain as part of a system problem...
..not just a vitamin issue.

We combine targeted nutrition (like B12) with treatments that:

✅ Improve circulation to your legs and feet with massage, acupuncture and chinese herbs.

✅ Reduce nerve inflammation through acupuncture and massage and Homeopathy

✅ Support nerve healing with cupping and homeopathic care

When your system works together, nerves have the best chance to recover.

💡 Takeaway

If you live with diabetic foot or leg pain...

🧑🏻‍🏫your nerves don’t just need supplements...
.. they need care, blood flow, and balance.

💥 3 Reasons Why Back or Neck Surgery Is Overperformed (and What You Can Do Instead)

Did you know that only 5 out of every 100 people who undergo back or neck surgery...
..actually needed it?

Yet thousands go under the knife every year.

Here’s why 👇🏽

1️⃣ Your GP runs out of options

Most GPs are trained to manage pain with medication...
..but these only help about 80% of patients.

When your meds don’t work, the next step is often to refer you to a surgeon...
..not because surgery is the best solution, but because that’s the only tool left in the box.

2️⃣ Surgeons focus on structure, not the system

A surgeon’s goal is to “fix” alignment...
..but pain doesn’t always come from bones.

Cutting through muscle and tissue can cause scarring that makes recovery even harder.

3️⃣ Patients believe pain can be cut away

Do you ever think: “If you remove what hurts, the pain will stop?”

But pain isn’t just in the body...
..it’s in the nervous system, the mind, and even your daily habits.

When you ask for the scalpel, you may be asking for the wrong kind of help.

💔 The real problem

Too many people are being operated on for the wrong reasons😭

At Medipain, we believe surgery should be the last resort..
..not the first reaction👊

Pain needs to be managed at the root level...

*inflammation,
*muscle tension,
*stress, sleep,
diet,

and nerve sensitivity all play a role

💡 Think before you cut

Before you agree to surgery:

Get a second opinion!!🙏

🧑🏻‍🏫Explore combination treatments that combines...
..pain meds with massage, acupuncture, cupping, herbs and other physical therapies

🎯Understand the cause behind the pain...

Because true healing doesn’t happen in an operating room...
..it happens when your body, mind, and system work together again. 🌿

💊 Why Your Pain Tablets Work For Someone Else… But Not For You.

You’re not imagining it...

The same medication can help one person and do nothing for another🤔

🧑🏻‍🏫That’s because not all pain comes from the same cause.

👉 One person’s pain might come from inflammation.

👉 Another’s from nerve damage or stress-related tension.

👉 And sometimes, it’s a mix of both.

When you treat pain without understanding what’s behind it...
.. you’re only turning down the volume, not fixing the source.

At Medipain, we look deeper:👊

🎯We identify what’s causing or feeding your pain...
..whether it’s inflammation, circulation issues, sleep, sugar, or stress.
..And then create a plan that actually fits your body.

💚 Real pain relief starts with understanding.

🌿 “I Came In For Pain… And Left With Epileptic Tablets.”

💭 “Did my doctor make a mistake?”

😟 It’s confusing...
.. and even a little scary when you’re given epileptic medication for pain.

Most people don’t understand why…
..and that’s okay.

You deserve an explanation!!

💡 Sometimes pain doesn’t switch off when the body heals...
..because our nerves get stuck in pain mode like an alarm that keeps ringing even when the fire is out. 🔔

So your doctor gives you tablets for epilepsy that help calm those overactive nerves.

This gives your body a break from the constant noise.

🌿 At Medipain, we go a step further:

We help you understand why your pain started,...
..and how to finally get it under control.

We use both Western and complementary treatments that work together.

💚 This means you don’t have to guess what your pain is trying to say anymore.

Let’s help you make sense of it and start real healing.

Are You Making Your Pain Worse, Without Knowing It?

Many people use codeine (stilpane, tramadol) to ease pain💪🏻

At first, it helps...
..but if you use it for weeks or months...

You can become MORE sensitive to pain🤦🏻‍♂️

That means the same medicine may start making pain sharper, stronger, or spread to new areas🤔

🌍 Real-Life Explanation

Think of codeine like water on a fire. At first, it helps...
..but if you keep pouring the same bucket every day...
..the fire learns to resist it and the flames grow hotter

✅ What to Do

*Use codeine only for short-term pain.

*If your pain continues, talk to your doctor about other safe options.

*Try combining meds like panado and Nsaids.

*Also add treatments like massage, acupuncture, gentle movement, and stress care.

❌ What to Avoid

*Don’t keep increasing your dose when codeine stops working.

*Don’t rely on codeine alone for long-term pain relief.

🎯 Takeaway

Codeine is useful for quick relief...
..but lasting pain control comes from a mix of treatments that work on the root cause, not just the symptoms.

📢 Why Do Pain Tablets Like Ibuprofen Really Work?

NSAIDs (like ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac) are pain tablets that help with:

✨ Reducing pain
✨ Calming swelling
✨ Lowering fever

How they work:

They block your body’s pain messengers (called prostaglandins).

Less swelling = less pain!!

👉 But here’s the catch:

NSAIDs are great short-term but NOT for long-term use

And...

Avoid Nsaid combinations!!

Long - term use and Nsaid combinations increase the risk of side effects🙏

For example...

☠️Avoid using diclofenac with mybulen...
..because mybulen has ibuprofen in it.

What are the Nsaids side- effects?

⚠️ Daily use can upset your stomach or even cause bleeding...
..as well as kidney or blood pressure problems.

👩🏻‍🏫 If you are only using a Nsaid and you're not responding well to treatment...

Instead of increasing the Nsaid dose...
..your doctor can add other pain meds to your script (discuss with your doctor).

That’s why at Medipain, we go deeper...

...treating both the pain AND the root cause, so you don’t have to depend only on tablets.

Take Home Message!!

- Long term use and Nsaid combinations increase side - effects

- In most cases...

Swelling + inflammation= pain = Nsaids

🌿 Is Panado Enough for Pain Relief? 🌿

👩‍⚕️ What to Know

Many people reach for Panado (paracetamol) when pain strikes.
..but what does it actually do?
..and where does it fit in the treatment plan?

✅ What Panado Does

*Helps with mild to moderate pain (like headaches, backache, joint aches).

*Brings down fever.

*It's gentle on the stomach compared to some pain medicines.

❌ What Panado Does NOT Do

*It does not reduce swelling or inflammation in joints or muscles.

*It will not be enough if your pain is moderate to severe.

🔍 Real-Life Explanation

Think of Panado like turning down the volume button on your brain’s pain signals👊

It doesn’t fix the “broken speaker” (inflammation)...
..but it helps you cope by making the sound softer💪🏻

🎯 Clear Takeaway

Panado is the first step in pain management.

It’s safe, effective for mild pain, and often used TOGETHER with other medicines...
..as pain becomes stronger.😭

It doesn’t fix the “broken speaker” (inflammation)...
..but it helps you cope by making the sound softer🙏
