Allergic to amitriptyline, nortriptyline didn't work, extreme swelling with Lyrica. Gabapentin was the only thing that they could offer me. Worked good for first year- not very much now. Just enough to keep me from jumping off the bridge. I have been through too ,too much. Fused c2-t2, three ruptured lumbar discs and now, severe neuropathy for 3 years. I am asking my Dr about a SCS next week. Had my MRI just yesterday. Waiting for the results.
