nerve damage

No, the only pain medicine I have been given is Hydrocodone. When I had my neck dissection, the doctor cut through some of the nerves on the right side of my face, and I still have phantmo tooth aches, and my chin is still numb. But at least I am still around to complain about the pain, so I guess that is a good thing.

Neurontin or Gabbapentin
Worked good for me - only used it for about 3 months. Stopped the stabbing pains.

Hi Steve
I use Lyrica and have a lot less side effects; it has been a miracle drug for me in dealing with nerve pain.

Thanks for your input

Neurontin
Andy has had arescription for a long time and has just recently felt the need to take all three doses a day. He doesn't have nerve pain but has neuropathy in his fingers and toes. The neuron tin does help. Also helpful is using a golf ball to roll in your hands and under your toes...

Lyrica
Hondo,

How long does it take for the Lyrica to start working? I was on it for a just over a week and stopped because of the side effects. After stopping I realized it wasn't the cause of the side effects and now I want to go back on it.

If you say it worked for you, then I want to give it a try. Nothing yet has worked.

Thanks,

Tommy

Hi Tommy
Foe me it took a week or two before I notice any thing from it, but my wife was telling me she could hear the diffrent in my Voice from the first week.

There are some side affects at frist but you will get over them. If you need contact me anytime and I can explane what you might be on the look out for. I been on Lyrica for just about 2 years now.

Thanks Tim for the info. For now I am going to wait and keep doing the exercises my surgeon told me to do. He says if I keep doing them the pain will go away. If it doesn't, I'll contact you.

Thanks Again,

Tommy
