Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 , No, I'm not on neurotin. I feel the back of thigh pain mostly when I lie down and it seems to be getting worse. Does that sound familiar or consistent to what others report? (, I know you are not a doctor, but any advice you could share will be appreciate.) I tend to keep quiet, so if this is common...well I would be more apt to ask Rand for a script. Does it go away?

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Ann... Unfortunately, I don't know much more than I told you. When (CA) was in the hospital and I was visiting, the head of the pain management group came in to see her and we talked about her thigh pain (her's is in the front). Dr. Koo indicated that the thigh pain was fairly common, and temporary. Not everyone can take neurontin. I can't. But, it's definitely worth a try if the pain bothers you enough.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hmmm. I had top of thigh pain with some numbness and just general weirdness, immediately postop but it went away. This is more achie and it almost feels muscular but it is kind of a burning sensation. How's that for a description?? I'll talk to Rand. Thank you!!
