Avatar f tn This can be spinal cord injury pain, segmental pain that can be associated with allodynia and hyperalgesia in the painful region. Nerve root entrapment pain and syringomyelia are other groups of neuropathic pain. The other category of pain is musculoskeletal due to secondary overuse and muscle spasms after spinal cord injury and surgery. Pain management includes treatment with medications, modified activities or combination.

Avatar f tn m sorry to hear that no other medications have been effective in relieving your neuropathic pain. I am glad to hear that at least the Oxycodone has some pain relieving properties for you. I know you said that you had side effects with Gabapentin - which may preclude you from trying a newer drug, Horizant. It depends on what your side effects were - and how extreme. Horizant (gabapentin enacarbil) has been approved to treat postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in adults.
147426 tn?1317265632 We were lucky enough to have a pain managment doc land on our forum last week. He has agreed to feed us some info on data, written for the person with no medical knowledge. He emails me the info and I will place it on the forum. I am so jazzed! PAIN - The Musical There are fundamentally two types of pain in world: "normal pain" and "neuropathic pain". Normal pain happens when someone kicks me in the shins.
Avatar m tn Hi, and welcome to the forum. Neuropathic pain is difficult to treat and we were lucky enough to have a pain management doctor wrtie up to Health Pages on the subject. Please click on the two links below. the first one is explaining what neuropathic pain is and the second is describing how to treat it and explaining why you want (actually NEED) to go slow. No one WANTS to go slow, of course. http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple%20Sclerosis/Pain---A-Primer/show/371?
Avatar m tn He learned that the MSIR, given for the cancer treatment pain, was able to manage the neuropathic pain. There has been no etiology determined for the neuropathy. His Lumbar puncture was normal except for elevated protein. His skin is very hot when his pain is bad, & he is lightheaded & unsteady.
Avatar n tn Hello, I was looking for some treatment options for General Neuropathic Pain as the only diagnosis my dr can provide me after negative EMGs both upper and lower extremeties and complete work up including MRIs, bone scans, x-rays, and blood tests. My pain is debilitating sciatica like in both legs and ulnar nerve pain in both arms from shoulder down to the pinky fingers which feels like tightness in so many muscle groups. Pain for 2 years without answer or any treatment to help.
Avatar m tn I hope someone can shed light on this. I have been experiencing neuropathic pain for 8 months after taking vitamins and supplements. My initial symptom was twitching in my left calf. This progressed with pins and needles sensation in more of my left leg. A week or so later I had similar symptoms in my right leg as well as significant numbness in my right thigh. Next I experienced parenthesis across my mid back at about th mid-thoracic level.
Avatar m tn It could be neuropathic, though an unlikely possibility. Neuropathic pain can be managed with medications or nerve destruction. 3. Likely possibilities include referred pain from other regions, infections, inflammations, chronic irritation etc. It would be best to get this evaluated by a urologist or an internist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Hope this is helpful. Take care!
1310035 tn?1305621642 Sorry if there was some sort of misunderstanding, not sure how that happened?? but i never said or implied anything about pain management (clinics/centres/doctors or what ever) only prescribing narcotics. The only thing I actually said was "So my advice is to try and stay away from the pain meds that are easily addictive and talk to your dr about neuropathic pain drugs instead.
Avatar m tn Pain descriptions can vary widely according to the individual, however it is possible that you may be suffering from neuropathic pain. Neuropathic pain can have many different causes. Among these are a group of disorders called entrapment neuropathies. As your nerves travel along the length of your arm, they are vulnerable to injury at specific sites where normal ligamentous and bony structures are predisposed to compression.
Avatar n tn Certain antidepressants have been shown to be very effective in neuropathic pain independent of their antidepressant effects (meaning the chemicals affected by these medications help treat the neuropathic pain). These include elavil, doxepin, and others. Topical doxepin and caspasin cream are also helpful for neuropathic itching. Anti-seizure medications found to be useful for neuropathic itching include neurontin and lyrica.

485259 tn?1519047026 New research for neuropathic pain. This video interview with Dr. Allan Basbaum discusses the possibility of replacing damaged Gabba cells with new functioning ones, thus virtually eliminating neuropathic pain. This video also provides a good explanation of the different types of pain: acute/chronic/inflammatory/ and neuropathic as well as Trigeminal Neuralgia. Hopeful and informative. http://www.facingfacialpain.org/index.php?
Avatar m tn I have read over and over that neuropathic pain like this is not caused by vaginal herpes and only shingles causes this pain. I have never had shingles. So...my thought is that people may not ever want to tell their doctors that they have had genital herpes so maybe its not a widely documented occurrence. After all, what the heck else can it be? ALL my bloodwork is negative for MS, sarcoidosis. Neurologist is baffled, GP is baffled, I think its the herpes.
