Hi, Please hang in there and know in time it will get better. Have you connected with a pain clinic? Also, maybe a place like the Mayo Clinic? I don’t think you have adequate pain relief. I’ve been there many times and I’ve felt desperate. I have nerve pain throughout my body and it is horrible. I took gabapentin and low dose tramadol and ibuprofen for 17 years without ever going over the prescribed amount of tramadol, always under the prescribed amount. I had flares of horrible pain but I could keep it under control. It recently spread throughout my body and I was referred to a major pain clinic. They recommended switching from gabapentin to Lyrica and they also recommended other medications like Cymbalta. I was prescribed an anti-depressant when the nerve pain began 20 years ago. I stayed on it for a year and it really helped me feel like I could deal with the pain.
