I’ll be praying for him.
Man I hate to hear about all this stuff. Vietnam Vets have a special place in my heart. My dad now has Parkinson's Disease believed to be related to Agent Orange.So sorry to hear this. My dad is the same, Vietnam + Purple Heart. Thanks to Vietnam, he has CLL caused by Agent Orange. He is in remission currently. It's not been easy so I feel your pain. Thank your dad for his service.
I asked my wife who is an RN about dealing with the pain. She said first, it should be part of his treatment. The VA was actually pretty good with my dad. She said you have to find the right doctor that knows how to treat him. Sorry if that is common sense. Not sure where you are located.
If that doesn't work, she said that there are a lot of folks using medical marijuana and as @transfixer said the CBD gummies. You have to get the higher potency ones from CO, CA etc. We have an in-law who is taking them regularly for chronic pain due to a disease. It really helps her lead a near normal life.
Sorry again. My wife works at CHOA, has had cancer, and we've seen a million doctors in Atlanta, Birmingham, and even Mayo. If you want to pick her brain PM me. I can also ask my mom what all she did to get the VA to help my dad.
Keep your head up, and hang in there...
