mrsD,
Echoes thank you for the quick reply. I'm on a 30 day cutback on Lyrica and methadone trying to find out how little I can get by on before switching to Elavil, after this period it will be good by methadone, Lyrica- hello Elavil. mrsd hope you don't mind me addressing you as Dr.D for your knowledge and unselfish sharing to those of us in this painful condition. As for the BPH right now it hurts to sit as I'm still in the healing process also wearing diapers. a lot of the medicines used for PN have affects upon the prostate including stimulate laxatives. I should have urinary control and be pain free in another 10 days. With the VA surgery is the last option and IMO is where a lot of drug use information is derived. The big problem I have found in all sectors of medicine is pain management. Doctors prescribing meds for their field of specialty and then comes a surgery and the patient best pray for a safe quick discharge if they suffer from multiple afflictions. Many thank yous to those in this forum.
