Any meds for chronic pelvic and rectal pain after prolapse surgery?

@sharshy I believe you are on gabapentin for pain relief as an alternative to an opiate for pain but it appears to not be helping you. Depending on what comorbidies have you considered something like buprenorphine for 24/7 pain relief? I attached an article on gabapentin and another on covering buprenorphine. You cannot use both simultaneously.

@sharshy Ive been on gabapentin for a couple years up to 2800 mg a day. I’m wearing off it. It did not help me. Also am on cymbalta. No help so weaning off that. I take medical marijuana gummies for sleep but for pain nothing. These drugs work great for some and not for others.

@jenatsky Can you get Buprennorphine in the UK? I am confused when to take the Gabapentin. it says 300mg take 3 times during the day but I need it to sleep. Also on 50mg Trazodone. Seems after the op, I have some sort of nerve entrapment and the RLS is really bad at night as soon as I lie down to sleep it kicks off. I try to take the Gabapentin 2 hours apart in the evening and Trazodone at 8 pm, but very sedated and tired the next day. Thanks for listening. The whole thing is why I m on an antidepressans fearing going to bed.
