Hi Everyone - My name is Denise and I have neuropathy from lung surgery (pleurodesis - both lungs), and a hysterectomy. I take Pregabalin which really works well for me. I have very little pain and I am able to move around more freely. The only side effects are dry mouth and some dizziness/disorientation. I can live with the side effects because I am able to do so much more when I take Pregabalin, than when I don't take it. I tried Gabapentin but it did not help me to resume my life the way Pregabalin does. I was told about 30% of people who have this lung surgery have pain problems post-surgery.
Thank you for letting me introduce myself. I am looking forward to reading your posts!
Denise

Hi @denisemarys, Thanks for sharing what helps with the neuropathy from your lung surgery. There is another discussion you may also find helpful. I also shared my neuropathy journey along with other members in the following discussion -- Member Neuropathy Journey Stories: What's Yours?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/member-neuoropathy-journey-stories-whats-yours/.
