Only thing I know is heat or ice Make sure you're staying hydrated stretching walking warm bath maybe with some Epson salt. If they continue go to the dr and find out why you are having them. I'm sorry I'm not much help . But I hope you can get them under control. 🙂

The only medicine that did help me with my Nerve pain and the Burning stabbing and all that goes with that was gabapentin I have tried so many over the years Lyrical also work but Gabapentin was much cheaper and my Spinal stimulator helps alot. But nothing will Totally take all the pain away all I do is pray that it helps me get through the day..

Sounds like your doing like you should have you tried ice or heat I know you said you have been walking hopeful not to much to Aggravate your Nerves if you can try to get hold of a Tens unit it was helpful to me sometimes until They put a spinal stimulator in my back. I hope you get to feeling better.

Thank you so much for your reply wasn't sure if I would get one or not. I have tried this before on other site but it was full of people Complaining that they couldn't find a good pain clinic to give them more pills. I would be so happy if I didn't need any at all. It's good to be able to talk to other people who are going through the same thing as you are. It breaks my heart to here some of the stores. I will be 54 in March and had to go on SSI 6 years ago What a eye open that was for me as far as money I had a Really good job working for myself. Never once did I ever think about how much money I spent at the grocery store. All I can say is thank God for coupon lol .. I'm with you about not trying to live like a Cripple most people dont even know What kind of pain I'm in each day. Life goes on just need to fine a Purpose too much time on my hands. I hope your day is better then yesterday and you can fine a reason to smile. 🙂

That was 8 years ago and now I'm dealing with Chronic pain and now I have RSD wish has Completely changed and ruin my life. I now have two Spinal stimulators and a morphine pump to help control the pain. It all Started with me exercising one afternoon riding my bicycle And someone decided to go get drunk and get behind the wheel of his car and thought it was ok to drive. I have had 43 surgery's yes 43 that's right. Life is hard enough without someone else making it harder.
