Docter prescribed vicodin to help with pain so I could sleep but it takes a long while to have any effect. I take 10mg of vicodin at bedtime. My doctor now wants to switch to lyreca 100mg 3 times a day. I am supposed to take the neurontin 300mg 4 times aday along with it for a week, then 300 mg 1 time at bed time for a week with the lyrica, then stop the neuronton. Is this really safe and are there other options such as additional surgery that are better than either on. Can this burning be caused by the lowering of blood pressure when I lie down rather than the nerve?

I know what you mean. I had that burning in my hands and feet thanks to nerve damage to my right leg thanks to lymes. eventually the pain went away in my hands and feet and now they don't feel hot or cold >.< But I used bengae on them. It made them feel better and tiger balm
