Prior surgery in 2002 for spinal stenosis...bars and screws - sever stenosis above previous surgery ...Neurosurgeon prescribed Gabapentin 3 times a day for nerve block. ## Hello, Shirle! How are you? Gabapentin isn't actually a nerve block. The FDA actually classifies it as an anticonvulsant that can also help with certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. It can alleviate nerve pain, due to the way it works on the receptors in your brain. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes. It works well for some people, but not all, which is normal for all medications. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does Methadone block the effects of Methamphetamine? ## Methadone actually doesn't block anything, its just that in respect to other opiates, the receptors are flooded by the Methadone, so someone may not feel any effect from them, if they take them while on it. Learn more Methadone details here. However, since the Methadone is a downer and the other a stimulant, there is the possibility of a dangerous interaction occurring between the two, so they shouldn't be taken together, unless a doctor has specifically instructed you to do so. Are there any other questions or comments? ## My Dr. has had me on methadone 110mg./day for almost 3 years-I had facial nerve damage; then my wonderful s.o. refused to shovel out my car and I subsequently destroyed my spine-in summary I have been in...

Hey y'all, I was on fentanyl 100 for 15 yrs, it worked or at least helped me lead a normal life. I have secondary progressive multiple sclerosis & basically all they can do is help the pain. I got off the 100 myself because of a bowel blockage. Major fun & games, NOT! Few months ago i went back, started on 25 then 50 & now 75. I feel absolutely no dif in my pain. Trying to get in to see a doc very soon. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH FENTANYL? No Relief at all? It's all soo freaking depressing. So f****n sad. Thank you. ## Hello, Alexie! How are you? If you still have a tolerance built up, then the lower dosages would not help. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizzines...

I have had 4 nerve blocks, trigger point injections, and allergic reaction to suboxone and fentalyn for three herniated discs lower back. I had to go back to oxycontin. My doctor has stopped taking workers' comp and I can't find another pain management doctor that will prescribe meds. I have been told that an operation cannot guarantee being pain free, and may make me worse, which I can't imagine living with. My life is consumed with living with this, and the government should stay out of the doctor patient relationship or question it for people who do not use drugs recreationally or abuse them. Government is scaring doctors away from treating the people who desperately need them. Does anyone know a pain management doctor in Nassau County, South Shore near Oceanside? Thanks ...

I was given a steroid shot to block a nerve and I cannot take any blood thinners. Is it safe to take benazepril? ## No, this medication is an ACE inhibitor that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, and certain cardiac conditions. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

I've had surgery and pain block injections for damage to nerves in my lower spine from a 'spur' - neither helped. Been on painkillers daily for 35 yrs, tried everything and now at best left with 80% pain. Had 100mcg fentanyl patches and their effect lessened so now I'm on 62.5 mcg fentanyl + 3x 300 mg gabapentin + 3x 50 mg tramadol combined daily. Still in agony. Any suggestions to help me please? What is the maximum mcg strength of combined fentanyl patches that can be used together every 72 hours? Thanks.

I suffer from cervical stenosis. My neurologist gave me an occipital nerve block with Kenalog, which is cortisone, in Feb./14. This made me worse. I went to see my physiatrist and said this was bad for the neck. He wanted to give me maracain injections, but I refused because I was afraid it would give me more pain. He said to go back in 1 month and he would give me the injections. I am skeptical and afraid. Did anyone ever have maracaine injections for C2-3-4-5-6? ## Hello, Lea! How are you? Marcaine is a local anesthetic, so it should not worsen your pain. The biggest risk with it is cardiotoxicity, so if you have a heart problem, you cannot take it. Common side effects may include numbness, dizziness and vertigo. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi Vervom, Thanks for the rep...

My PCP is not prescribing anymore. I went to one pain management clinic, 2 epidurals, 21 nerve blocks and 14 nerve burns. I need my meds ## Hello, Reba! How are you? Unfortunately, there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. The quickest and easiest way to find the help you need would be by having your PCP refer you to another pain management specialist. What other options were you offering by the one you went to? ## I sympathize with you the FDA is making our doctors to afraid to prescribe the meds we NEED so we suffer.
