Nerve And Pain Best Med

I have so much pain in my feet, , wrist and knee & legs. Im on Trama-dol hcl 50 mg and Morton. Also prednisone 10 mgs What other meds help with this problem ? ## Hi Binny, What type of pain are you dealing with exactly? Just general pain, or pain from arthritis? If you're able to give me more detail, I can definitely do some research and look at the other options you have. Until then, I would like to recommend acupuncture and essential oils. There are studies that can prove the accuracy of both those methods for pain. I've personally had acupuncture performed on a painful nerve in my foot and it helped tremendously. Essential oils are also beneficial in conjunction with massage therapy. I'll post a link to a page that provides information about certain oils used for pain...

i have been suffering from pain in my legs approx from 2 months and its feel horrible when anything hits him or anyone touch that part and its gives different sensation and feel like current is flowing in that part and gives soo much pain which is unbearable sooo what should i do to cure it. ## Hello, Spidey! How are you doing? Has there been any change? According to most NIH reports, these symptoms can be caused by nerve damage. Are you diabetic? Are you on any other medications? I think the best thing to do would be to consult a doctor to get to the root of the problem. Do you have any diagnosed medical conditions?

What is the best medicine for pain due to sciatica. Pain goes down my leg & I get tingling in my toes. ## Have you consulted a doctor? It really depends on what is causing the sciatic pain, such as nerve compression, spinal injury, or other issues. Only a doctor is going to be able to help you get to the root of the problem and explore what medication or treatment options might work for you. ## I take 6 30 mgand 3 80 mg of ops but it is not working as well,what can I do

I'm wondering what is best med for s1 protruding disc and a pinched nerve until I can get into pain management for the steroid IV's ## HI, Amy! Sorry that you're in pain. However, there's really no way to say what the best pain medication would be, because what works for someone else may not work for you. What has your doctor advised? Much of it is also going to depend on your overall health and your tolerance to any given class of medication. Have you ever taken opiates, before?

For years now I have been taking 4 tramacet and 2 lyrica every day. The side effects are weight gain, a bit of finger and arm numbness and sleep disturbance. On the good side the tramacet is all that really works on nerve pain (S1 root damage chronic) and the lyrica takes the second edge off the pain. If you are careful it should be ok. Always best to eat something with these two medicines. You have to slowly taper off either of them. No sudden stops because a sudden stop can cause seizures. ## I took Lyrica for 2 hrs for periphiel neuropathy pain and then it turned on me making me unable to see, bad uneasy feeling and kidney cancer and failure. I am scared to death to take even 1 -50 mg! And the withdrawal! Felt like I was burning alive! Ought to be against the law! the only drug that ...

What is the best treatment for diabetic nerve pain other than antidepressants prescribed by the doctors? ## Some people do very well with some anticonvulsant medications, such as Gabapentin and Pregabalin. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings, and weight gain. They are also approved to treat certain types of nerve pain, and some mood disorders. What are the patient's normal blood sugar levels?

I started taking Macrobid for a UTI, I only took one pill yesterday and one today. This afternoon my right eye hurts and waters some. I have had dry eye issues in the eye previously. I am also female and 62 years old. Will this go away when I quit the Macrobid? ## It might not, actually, according to the FDA, this medication has been known to cause optic neuritis, which can sometimes result in permanent damage to the optic nerve. It would be best to have this checked, because you may need to switch to a different medication. Have you experienced any other side effects?

I think I may have strained something. Have numbness and pain in hip joint. Have on hand Flexeril, Voltaren, Voltaren gel, Robaxin Prednisone and Lorcet. Have used heating pad and tens unit with gel. No relief. Trying not to have to go to doctor. Will any of these meds be effective alone or in combination? Never had the numbness before---skin hurts to touch. ## Seeing a doctor would be your best option, to be honest. Given the numbness, there is a risk of your having some nerve damage starting, according to NIH reports, and delaying proper treatment might only make it worse. Do you take any medications regularly? Why do you have a TENS unit?

Have you looked into setting up an appointment with a pain management specialist? That's usually the best option for someone like you with such severe health issues. Learn more pain management details here. The best advice I can give is do not ask them ahead of time to prescribe pain medications, because most doctors will see that as being drug seeking behavior.

Hi, I had a work injury back in 2012 and now have three herniated discs and nerve problems. I have been to pain management who have done injections and radiofrequency ablations but with little success. I can't take Ibuprofen due to a bypass and reflux issues and tylenol doesn't help. I was being given Vicodin but now no doctor will prescribe it due to all the new laws and problems with abuse and addiction. I have been faithful to my primary and pain management doctor and even have my insurance on board to make sure I am a faithful patient and not an abuser. So I am in desperate need to find a doctor who doesn't tell me to go home, put ice, heat and rest or take tylenol. I have tried all the options besdes surgery which I was told wasn't the best option due to my age. Ple...

which painkiller would be best to try for more relief ; need a step up from Hydrocodone 750/7.5 . Don't want to take more of the Hydrocodone than is recommended and it just is not doing very well for me now . I have a killer stenosis in my back and the siatica nerve is really making even walking much more painful these past few weeks . Thoght maybe I could get some thoughts on this site . Thanks , JoJo ## Have you talked to your doctor about it? One choice may be Oxycodone, it is a very potent narcotic, but you'd probably be able to start off with a relatively low dose, if you've never taken it before, which leaves you somewhere to go, if you build up tolerance to it. There is a Vicodin/Norco product that has 10mgs of the Hydrocodone in it, but if you've been taking that...

I have 3 ruptured discs with nerve damage on both sides of my back. Iam in pain 24/7. I've been to 3 neurosurgions and 2 Orthopedic surgeons. I've been to 3 physical therapist and 3 pain specialist who say I need surgery but no one will touch me they say its to risky and they send me back to pain management but they only send me to physical therapy. My family dr wont write for pain meds neither will all the other docs I've seen. I need help. Iam always in pain and it makes me depressed. ## Hi Sharon, I'm really sorry to hear about what you're going through. I think when it comes down to a serious spine operation, one has to seek out the best, even if it means being open to traveling to get the right kind of care. What city do you live in?

My home was broken in my rings check book and medicine all gone. I'm on nerve medicine and pain medicine. I made a police report right as I saw my back door chain broken and windows were open. I'm in a lot of pain and I'm afraid to ask for a small amount back. I'm very seriously sick. Don't care or want any problems with my doctor. This has never happened to me. ## Dear worried, Sorry to hear about what you're going through with this! Is your doctor an understanding person? I really think you should take the police report with you into their office and explain what happened because the truth is the truth. Some docs are unwilling to write an early refill for a stolen prescription but I think this is your best bet at this point. Best wishes and please keep me poste...

I have periphial neuropathy my feet hurt all the time nonstop. A friend talked me into trying a few(4) puffs of marijuana and it stopped the pain completely. I live in alabama so it is ilegal. Is there a medication made from it that is legal here? ## Hi Gene, You might be thinking of Cannabidiol (more commonly know as CBD). This aspect of the marijuana plant is legal across all 50 states and has been proven to be useful for pain management without the "high" that comes with THC (another component of the plant/buds). Your best bet would probably be to search online for it, as I noticed several places that have it available. A close family member of mine is actually taking a 50/50 THC/CBD concentrated spray that helps with her nerve pain. I realize you can't get the THC legall...

I am going through therapy for my back and need spine surgery. I have been taking percocet for the past year now and my Dr wants to change my medication. He suggested something that starts with the letter N but didnt spell it right for me. Does anyone know of pain medication that starts with that letter. Not Naproxen, it's not an anti inflammitory ## It's supposed to be for nerves. ## Probaly Neurontin which is used to ease nerve pain. ## Or maybe Norco ## Those would be my best guesses, as well, since they are both used to treat pain, just in different ways. Neurontin is an anticonvulsant that's also been shown to help with nerve pain, it contains the active ingredient Gabapentin. And Norco contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Hydrocodone, so it's a narcoti...

Hello, I was on 300 mgs of Gabapentin for 1 year. I reduced it to 100 mgs 1 month ago. My legs and knees are constantly riddled with rheumatic pain, also my leg muscles are getting weak to the extent it's affecting my walking. Could the Gabapentin be causing this? I have bulging discs and nerve compression in the neck. ## It's hard to say, it could be due to lowering the Gabapentin too fast, or it could be due to further degeneration of your condition. The FDA reports that Gapentin can cause these issues as side effects, as well as withdrawal effects, you may also experience nausea, headache, dry mouth, mood changes, and weight changes. Ref: Medline Plus Gabapentin Have you informed your doctor? They would be the best person to help you discover what is going on, and why. ## Tha...

I am having pain in my tailbone and left buttock while sitting. The X-ray plates show 'lumbar lordosis lost'. I have been to an orthopaedic surgeon who advised me to take hot sitting and Hifenac - MR. along with an antacid. Please advise. ## Hello, Guatam! How are you doing? What problem do you have with the medications that you were advised to take? A doctor is the person best qualified to evaluate your medical condition and to let you know what your treatment options are, if any, and to prescribe the proper medications. The lumbar lordosis is the arch of your lower spine, where it curves inwards, just above your buttocks. Losing that would probably cause the type of pain that you're experiencing, because it's pressing on the nerves in your spinal column in an unusual w...

Is there anyone else taking Keppra and CBD? Do you have any side effects? ## At this time, CBD has not been known to cause any extremely problematic issues when taken with most prescription medications, but it can also vary from person to person, and be dependent on the dosages of the medications, the class of medications, and etc. The FDA does warn, however, that it can increase the risk of experiencing some side effects, such as dizziness, drowsiness, sedation, and difficulty concentrating, as well as the severity of such symptoms. Ref: CBD Information As with anything else, it is always best to check with your doctor, before taking it. My doctor cleared me to take it for nerve pain, but I don't drive, and I work from home, so I wasn't at high risk the first couple times I too...

I had my first child at 17 and my second child at 18. I am in a lot of pain due to having 3 epidurals that really messed my back up. Because of my age no doctor i have been to wants to give me anything over a 10mg Vicoden which doesn't really work due to my nerve damage and bulging discs. I refuse to self-medicate bc of my lack of knowledge when it comes to prescription pain killers. At 20 years old with a 3 and 1 year old it's hard to be the mother my children need me to be. I need a doctor that will help me and listen to me. Any suggestions? ## Have you tried a pain management specialist? That will most likely be your best bet to get the help you need and be taken seriously. They are specially trained to recognize the conditions that can cause someone pain and help them figure...
