We had a patient in yesterday with a pain level of 8-9/10 who did not want any opioids for pain relief. We gave her the "Hoag Pain Protocol" IV (a bag of sodium bicarbonate, DMSO, sterile water and minerals).
She reported her pain went to 1/10 and today she states she was able to sleep last night as the pain was so decreased.
She was so very appreciative of not having to get an opioid.
