I seem to need more and more pain meds. At first a lot of my pain was in abdomen, now it seems to have moved to my left leg. It makes it hard to climb stairs. I am wondering if I should make plans to move to place with no stairs.

I have had PN for about 5 years. It has progresssively worsened and the meds (narcotic) have steadly increased. The dose of Oxycontin I am currently on though is the same for the past year. I really try to regulate the Oxycodone(percocet) breakthru so as to help me get through the worst times. This has helped, i believe, in keeping with the same dose.
I had an unsuccessful trial stimulator done a little over a year ago. I had asked my doctor if a stimulator might help stop the progression. He said the stim might help with the pain; but nothing will stop the progression.
Mrs. D has been most helpful in providing info on the best vitamins/supplement to take. These vitamins/supplements have shown, in some cases, help regenerate damaged nerves. I have been on this regimen for about 6 months. I do feel more engertic, as well as dealing with the pain much better as well. I feel this regimen is worth a try. Nothing to lose......everything to gain.
