Different things work for different people. The Gabapentin and an anxietiy medicine works for me to calm the never spikes and shocks. I have not had bad ones like I had in the beginning Jan 2003. I have the nerve sensitivity on my left thigh. I am very sensitive to clothing and bed sheets. The Lidoderm patch has help me also.
I hope you can get insurance coverage to have treatment to help your pain. I know how MP keeps us from doing many things. I had thought of having my nerve burnt where it comes out of the spine. Then the Doctor moved away. So have tabled that plan for now. I do water exercises 3 times a week it seems to help me.
Keep pursing your treatment or maybe someone here will share something that worked for them to at least help tone down the pain.
Keep us posted. Blessings to you!

Thanks for the reply, Figured I'd update a bit. My Medical assistance is handled by an MCO...United Healthcare.
I am starting to learn how the system works.. ***** and complain! The state has a number to call when you are not happy, they in turn call the MCO (managed care) and things begin to move.
They nixed the Lyceria, complained, doctor wrote a note saying medically neccessary .... got the Lyceria, taking 5x daily now lessens the shocks but pain and is still there, as long asI sit down every 10 mins or so I can live with it, it's getting worse these last few months...
I have to large areas on my thighs I can draw an oval where I am numb but tingly, rub something against it and I am crazed, so I know what you are going through.
The complaints have also as of yesterday gotten me my own case worker (I have other issues) also they agreed to pay a pain management doc local to me --supposed to find out today when I get to see him. Will let you know how it works out…
Till nextime
