Hello Lulu2, I also have MP. Nerve root blocks and acupuncture have been useful, also my GP prescribed Axsain cream. If you get referred to a pain clinic, they may offer you Lidocaine plasters and/or Qutenza patch. Physio did not help me, but they lent me a Tens machine and I now have my own. I take Gabapentin, which I realise you cant take, but I have also tried Amytriptilin. Please insist your GP tries you on these treatments.
