I got Neurontin ca 2,5 yrs ago and quickly reached max dose. After a while they didn't help any more so last spring I started Lyrica 300mg ×2. I haven't been to a specialist or gotten a diagnosis. Lyrica is starting to fail me as well. as for pain relief, I can only take paracetamol and ibuprofen which is all I get as Ive got a super slow metabolism of cyp2d6 so tramadol and opiates doesn't really work except when taken in too high doses like 50mg Tramadol ×4 ,3-4 times a day, not healthy. I take omega 3 every day and I think it helps a little. I've got modic changes 2-3 and arthritis in my back and neck and trapped nerve, the isjiasj nerve, so constant pain/cramps in my right leg/got. Probably from falling off a horse once or a hundred 😅

Hello @mariavdkassteele, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @danmardy44 and others. There is another discussion that mentions pain and cramps in the feet that you might find helpful:

Has your doctor had any suggestions for the constant pain and cramps in your right leg?

I suggest you look into a spinal cord stimulator with your pain mngmt Dr.
