Ten years ago Collaroy resident Ashlee developed chronic neuropathic pain after a car accident left her with broken ribs. The condition means she often has pain flare ups, without trigger, in her left rib cage at the site of the injury.
“I tried a lot of different things to help manage the pain and nothing was really working,” she said.
“I saw physios, I saw acupuncturists, osteopaths and tried all different kinds of supplements and diets to see if any of that would help.”
