Gabapentin (Neurontin)

[jldeleon]

I would really stick with the massage therapist and ask her to show you how to massage your feet yourself -how to break up the scar tissue yourself.

That would be a consideration if I also didn't have nerve damage in my hands, fingers, and wrists. But thank you, Mrs. D.

Not sure how deep the dermatologist looks under the skin. I will stick with the meds and the therapy though, and if the therapy actually does what it's supposed to do, then I will get rid of the meds.

I could tell that without the medication, last night and this morning would have been miserable for me.

Husbands and children can be trained as massage therapists too.

Jen, the nerve pain I was having before using Gabapentin could not have been relieved in any other way. The nerve pain that I am using Gabapentin for now I have tried everything before resorting back to Gabapentin with no luck what so ever. Now I have daily comfort through the day which I did not have before.

My kids are too small to make a dent, and my hubby, well, he kinda beeatches about it when I try.

Nerve pain is unlike any I have ever experienced before, that is for sure. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. It leaves me wondering if I will ever be "normal" again. I feel robbed. Yet I realize others have it worse than me, and so I count my blessings. I can walk, maybe not too far, but I can put one foot in front of the other. Some people can't even do that.

TJ, keep your glass half full not half empty.
