Also, when I received my venomous bite that also sliced through my hand breaking it and slicing through nerves
and tendons, the hand specialist recommended
Lyrica. I actually tried it a few days ago
and it it awesome at just 50 MG 2 times a day. No more pain and I sleep like a baby. It acts directly on nerves by mimicking nerve fluid and calms them. The nerves control muscles, so it calms them too. It also helps with anxiety. So I guess there are non-narcotic ways to control pain.
