Allowing time to pass and acceptance....until the nerves regen somehwat I guess is key. The body sort of adopts to the pain, but I can't imagine it is easy.

Most of these drugs are Horse(*&, and maybe abate things a bit. Some folks are lucky...but it looks like you have to go through the cocktails to find the combo that works.

Ultimate the solution will be a genetic one (gene therapy). However, at the rate of trials and research, I expect something like that is at least a couple of decades away. By that time, there will be many new drugs...I expect within the next 5 years you will see new pain meds, perhaps working on different mechanisms. The only reason for that is that there is HUGE coin to be made by Pharma...so they will continue to pursue.
