What I find most interesting is that Pain killers don't do a thing for Alan's neuropathy pain. Nada, nothing at all.

He was just operated on. The doctor told us to give him a percocet BEFORE THE PAIN STARTS, because you don't take PERCOCET once the pain is already there.

So the night of the operation, I gave Alan the Percocet and massaged him and said 'okay, you should be okay now". He laid in the bed for one hour and ultimately said "when do I fall asleep?" and I said "are you in pain?" and he said "yeah, my toes are killing me" . I said "but you took a percocet" and he said "it did nothing".

So 90 minutes after he took the percocet I gave him one alprazolam and in 15 minutes he was beddy bye.

So I gather that Percocet does NOTHING for neuropathic pain??

Well, he can't take lyrica or neurontin. So I guess we have to be thankful that he at least gets to go to sleep because of the alprazolam.
