Case Study: Chronic Pain and Major Depression

A 32 year old female presented with major depression and chronic pain from a spinal injury.
 
History of extreme trauma and suicidal ideation, spinal injury occurred in a car accident.
 
She was managing the pain of this injury for 3-4 years before contracting a COVID infection. The infection caused an increased onset of pain, touch pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance. This increased so much she couldn’t go out and had to work from home.

Treatment

  • RN Labs Inflamasoothe 2 capsules, three times daily
  • Nordic Naturals Pro Omega, 2 capsules, three times daily
  • RN Labs BioActive B-Complex, 2 capsules daily
  • Plus: bespoke Immune compound: NAC, glutamine, lysine, ascorbic acid, citruline, magnesium threonate

Outcome

The patient experienced an immediate alleviation of pain and a longer sleep duration. Her energy improved, and she experienced a big change in touch sensation as previously could not do any physio/ chiro, but now can explore that. This makes a huge impact to her quality of life and pain management.
 
The patient was so impressed by the level of improvement she experienced that she purchased an 8 weeks supply and booked herself a 6-week holiday – the first time she felt able to do that in years!
