What are your experiences with Nucynta for neuropathy pain?

Hi, thanks for this. You were happy with the pain relief from Nucynta but can no longer access this drug. Can you please elaborate on what the injections are for and what is hydro? I take it these are for pain management. Are the results comparable to Nucynta?

Yes, Nucynta worked and I was happy. When it wasn't working enough, I asked for a slight increase and I will never forget it...that slight increase knocked me on my ass. I crawled up the stairs to bed where I could not function and vomited. Lesson learned.

Hydro, aka hydrocodone, was an opioid that my PCP felt was comparable to Nucynta for pain relief. It's prescribed name is Norco. I take 5mg/325 which is a combo of hydro and acetaminophen.

Pain management centers offer alternative pain relief to drugs. They offer to implant pain stimulaters with leads that run through your body and cortisone (steroid) injections or radio frequency ablations. These are all of what I am familiar with.
