My husband had a massive stroke for 8 months now and he is taking 4 times a day hydromorphone and fentanyl 25ug sticker but still,he has strong pain whenever any movements will be done.To add it up it triggers his agression as well.

I am a stroke survivor experiencing pain, but the background music with the constant cymbals make listening to your videos extremely uncomfortable!

Please get rid of the thousand dollar words, and then you might have something that would really help stroke patients like my wife. Otherwise you might as well get rid of this video. We do not have the time nor desire to decipher your words.
