Central Post Stroke Pain

[Inpain5]

Looking for help due to increasing pain levels.

Are there any others on the forum with this condition and have you found anything to assist ?

Aware 80% don't respond to medication and of the 40k in the UK with the condition, 11k will have severe/excruciating pain levels
