Help with nerve pain
Hi all!
So I have severe nerve pain from my car accident in 2002.
I have foraminal stenosis from my neck to my tailbone.
I am on dilauded as well as Gabapentin and Cymbalta. Nothing seems to help.
What have you tried, used, or would suggest?

Hello @loralp, While you wait for others with experience to share information, I thought I would share a related discussion and other information.

You mentioned that nothing seems to help including the medication for the pain. Have you looked into surgery to help with the nerve compression?
So far they don't want to do surgery. Not sure why but that's where I am at.
