e

Neuropathic pain is the most difficult pain to control. The longer it goes

uncontrolled the harder it will be. Is she on any narcotics? Is she on an

antidepressant? Is she on a anticonvulsant? Typically Neurontin works very

well for neuropathic pain. A narcotic and antidepressant seem to increase the

affect of the Neurontin. It is a anticonvulsant, but works on neuropathic

pain. Usually the tricyclic antidepressants work best for pain control.

There really are few other options for neuopathic pain.

Good Luck.

I don't have any helpful words for Neuropathy because we have not had to deal with that at this point. Just wanted to tell you how sorry I am to hear that is experiencing this. I hope that some of the others on the list will have some helpful advice for you.

Neuropathy

Hi, I don't post to this list very often, but need some advice. My 5 year old, is beginning to experience Neuropathy pain. She has had increased complaints of her feet falling asleep despite the position she is in and woke up this morning saying that her feet were telling her to cut them off, because they were hurting so much. When she has an episode I rub them and it seems to help while I am rubbing them, but as soon as I stop she is complaining again. I took her to the Pedi who feels it is Neuropathy, but neither one of us are ready to start her on a new medication right now. She is already on a lot. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.e Mom to Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.

Thanks for the support, but can anyone tell me how or why this is

happening to me? The pain is unbearable and the docs don't seem to

know how to help me get rid of it. I can't live like this....

I had a lot of nerve pain around my incision and the Dr. prescribed

a drug called NEURONTIN (sp?). He said it works well on nerve pain,

so it may work on your neuropathy.

I also used LIDOCAINE PATCHES (prescription). You stick them on the

problem area and it numbs the nerves close to the surface.

Very best of luck for a speedy recovery....

I have the same problem!!!! You have explained exactly what I am

experiencing right now and have been for a few months now. Actually mine has

gotten a little better but at its worst is what your talking about. So far

you are the only person that I have been able to find who is experiencing

this too.

I would love to talk to you more about this.

Please feel free to email me and we can talk.

Believe I know what your going through!!!

Dear Back2me,

I also suffered from neuropathy (pre-op). I was given a pill called

Neurontin. At first, the dosage didn't do anything for me at all (I was

on 600 mg). I ultimately got put up to 2800 mg. per day and I noticed

sufficient lessening of the neuropathy (I had it hands and feet). Since

the surgery, I'm off the neurontin and the neuropathy is barely

noticeable (though it is still there). You might want to ask for

neurontin and see if it works for you. A pleasing side effect of this

drug is that it's a mood stabilizer also.

Good luck. I hope you feel better soon.

live each day like it's your last... love like you've never been hurt...

it???? Think it might help???
