neurontin rsd

Well, you're not in China. I have rsd, along with other pain issues. I don't know what meds you're on. Narcotics aren't the best choice for rsd, though it will take the edge off. I can't take neurontin or lyrica, thoughmthey seem to help some. I have had some relief with nortryptiline. Have you had any procedures, like lidocaine infusions or stellate ganglion blocks? I,ve had limited help with those. RSD is a very painful condition and very hard to treat.

My mom developed RSD last November after she fell in a restaurant and hurt her knee, tibia, and ankle. Is there anything out there she can do to ease ANY of the pain without taking a bunch of narcotics?

I had fusion and capsone cage. I also have RSD in right foot for the past 20 years for which I take neurontin. I have nerve damage from the spinal surgeries and still have severe low back pain radiating numbness/tingling down left leg and buttock. I have peripheral neuropathy in bilateral feet. Now I have a problem with my legs but have not seen any doctor. After being on feet doing laundry or running errands, my legs feel funny. This happens when I am resting or relaxing.

I was diagnosed with RSD 3 week ago after having medial and ulnar nerve surgery. (It was supposed to be a simple carpel tunnel release and cubital tunnel transportation). My orthopedist said my nerves were severely damage. I developed severe pain (burning like on fire, severe sensitivity, frequent muscle spasms, ice cold hand, and severe swelling to name a few) 5 days after surgery. I haven't slept more than 2-3 hours at a time since surgery.

So sorry to hear about your experience ... it sounds dreadful. In my own experience with my surgeon, I found he was very frustrated that things didn't go as planned. I ended up having 9 surgeries with him and finally asked for a pain management referral after I saw he had written RSD under diagnosis. I was really upset he hadn't told me that verbally. He probably figured I wouldn't read the checkout sheet. RSD can be very difficult.

While I am very grateful to still have that arm, I have been suffering Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) A.K.A. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) A.K.A. One Helluva Sore Arm ever since. I am currently taking methadone, amitriptyline, gabapentin (neurontin) & paracetamol (for break-through pain) with mediocre results. Am also doing physio/occupational therapy incl mirror therapy. Do you know of other successful treatments?

I have fibro but I also have RSD that we believe came from having so many surgeries. RSD can come from several causes or sometimes for no apparent reason. But it's something that needs to be diagnosed by your doctor.

it is a nerve blocker like neurontin but it is habit forming and not recomended for addicts....my friend is addicted to it...so it is the truth...does nothing for me except make me feel like a ton of bricks wet...hits her pleasure button and she loves it...everyone is different...

s like am swallowing sand instead of salvia. Not sure if the Cymbalta works or not. I take Neurontin 9 times a day. The Neurontin makes me feel tired and messes with my memory. Just what FM people need to have right along with Fibro Fog. I think the doctors are just messing with us on the Meds.

Of the medications you listed, none of them cause teeth sensitivity nor do they cause dry eyes, however, tramadol and Neurontin can cause dry mouth. In regards to teeth sensitivity, over the years, enamel on the teeth can erode due to acidic items we eat or drink and sensitivity can occur all of a sudden. Refer to the American Dental Association on how this starts and what to do: http://ada.org/public/topics/sensitive.

but right now i am thinking it is or perhaps RSD. I am on celexa, neurontin, lidocaine patches, but my pain breaks through...the pain comes and goes which is weird...help someone...please!

ve been on Morphine Sulphate ER 60mg 3xday for about 18 months for a chronic pain condition (RSD). Boy, do I wish I had never started it or that my doctor would have warned me how hard withdrawals could be. I had no idea. I gradually went from 1 every 8 hours to 1 every 9 to 1 every 10, etc until I'm now on 1 every 12, but it took 6 weeks to get this far. Now my dr. only gave me 90 30mgs and I've tried taking 3/day and am having horrible withdrawals...

I have been on opiates since 2003 for Sciatic nerve impingement (Piriformis Syndrom) and RSD/CRPS. I will be ripping off my last 50mcg patch 6-10-2013 . I have 200 Hydrocodone 7.5-500 T's I am hoping to taper off by using the Hydrocodones. I am very afraid. Because I've had 2 very severe heart attacks back to back. C.O.P.D . Peripheral Neuropathy. Also, would Neurontin help withdrawal?

The Ophthalmologist he sent me to has found in my right eye a lesion, scarring on the retina, a cataract and in both eyes Macular Degeneration. My question is has this become a case of RSD Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy? Has this happened to anyone else? Thank you.

Neurontin works for me with 2 tramodols with it started taking 3oo mlg of neurontin now 1200mlg with 2 tramodols work for me

I am currently on 2400mg of neurontin daily and that has cut the pain by about 70 percent in frequency, but the intensity is unchanged when the pains do come, (they are worst during sleep and when I wake in the mornings). My PT is concerned that there may be some RSD in addition to the neuropathy because I can hardly stand the sensation when he massages the bottom of my foot.

Hello, and another welcome to this forum. I have RSD as well. It looks like mine developed after multiple surgeries on my hand. I had a joint replacement that failed and had multiple surgeries and then developed the RSD. Mine is primarily contained in my hand and has gone as far as my elbow or a little beyond. I've taken a lot of different medications. I just switched over to the Fentanyl patch and I really like it. I use oxycodone for BT pain.

Hello. about 8 years ago I was in a motor vehicle accident that left my left leg paralyzed. The doctors never really figured out exactly what caused it but it is thought that it's due to my pelvis being shattered. Over the years I have tried numerous medications, all sorts of pain medications and my high tolerance for them makes it very difficult to find one that will help ease my pain. I am allergic to Neurontin, so I can't take that.

I had been off everything for a while but recently went back to oxycodone 50 mg a day. This is for RSD in my hand from a joint implant that didn't work out. Now having an acute problem, the back pain is just not covered by the dosage I'm on. I was given 10 mg. flexaril to help. This is one of the reasons I wanted off pain meds ... because when something acute comes up, you either have to up your dose or suffer it out. Pain management is such a difficult path.

I have tried heat-ice- muscle relaxers and im even on neurontin for the RSD i have in my hand plus vicodin and NOTHING touches it! If i sit on m bed at night it feels like my bottom of my back and butt goes totally numb also.... weird uhu?

Wow - so sorry to hear this. I have developed RSD since my surgery. My Surgeon suggested these same meds but I dont know what they are so I said know. Will watch your post ands learn with you as you receive responses. Good luck my friend.

Have you injured yourself in that area? I only ask because I have RSD/CRPS, a severe, chronic pain syndrome. Have you gone to a Pain Management Specialist? The one pain we all share is the burning pain, and your stabbing pain is also one we have. It can be triggered by an injury, minor surgery, in rare cases, it can occur spontaneously. I also have Fibromyalgia, but burning pain is not one of the symptoms of Fibromyalgia, just our RSD/CRPS.
