No, He hasn't offered them. I had to stop the Gabapentin. It really did seem to help with the pain but the side effects made my job almost impossible, and very difficult in caring for my 7yr old. He only prescribed tramadol 50mgs but cut the dose in 1/2 basically gave me 14 pills that have to last 2weeks. It's not cutting it with that dose, and only truly helped with the gabapentin but I couldn't function. The soonest appointment I could get in was 11-30 and I'm trying to get a referral to a neurologist. Maybe I can get some REAL help. My current doctor doesn't seem to get how this is a CONSTANT pain. I will NOT take an anti-depressant when I'm not depressed. But am willing to try other anti-seizure meds but not when they have side effects that are as bad as Gabapentin was for me. I will ask him about the patch thing though. Maybe after a nerve conduction test they will have a better treatment plan. All I know is I CAN'T take this pain much longer!
Thanks for your suggestion
