Hi I am Helen.
Joined the community as seems to have usefull information.

I am currently having to work part time due to severe fatigue, joint pain , shaking hands, legs and neck arm pain.

In canada i have to wait another 2 months to see Rhemy after my MRI. I got desperate with nerve pain not resolved by codiene and pleaded for Gabapentin from GP.
It worked great for my sharp nerve pain for the first week, thought I was cured but now it seems to be coming back. I feel like I am being stabbed in my right shoulder with referred pain down my right arm and hand. I know i have osteophytes pressing on nerve in forminal opening C5 C6 form MRI 2 years ago.
Gabapentin has reduced my shaking a lot. Also have sacro illiac problems too.

My Dr now referred me to neuro too. Still waiting to be given date of appointment two weeks later.

Any ideas how to manage the nerve pain. Lyrica made me depressed. On so many drugs. SSRI. Arthrotec, T3 breakthrough. Codeine contin 100mg BID. Gabapentin 300 bid.

Anyway hope to learn a lot and get back to work which i desperately need to do

Helen
