Hi I am new here too. I know what you are going through. It started with numbness in my toes and now it feels like I'm walking on bubble wrap and the pain and burning is really bad. I take medication that I started with 200mg but the pain got so much worse that my neuroligist increased to 600mg. Until your body adjusts to the increased doseage it really spaces you out. I increase 100mg each week to try to function everyday. It really helps. I still have some burning but the pain has subsidded for now. If you are trying to work I feel for you. I'm told there is no cure and only pain management with pain killers. I just want you to know you are not alone. No one understands unless they have it. Good luck to you finding a med that helps.

Hi Jagerjoe,
I have had many of the symptoms that you described. Non of the medication had really helped me. So, I had a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) implanted. It has really helped to relief my pain. I hope this help. Take care!

Default Hi Jager joe

Hi and welcome to Neuro Talk. I have PN or RSD. I have a compound that both my orthopedic surgeon recommended and my pain specialist. If you PM me I will list the ingrediants. Has 5, and it helps. Medicare does not cover the medication as it is mixed at a special pharmacy. Before spinal cord stimulator, perhaps give it a try. ginnie

I tried everything. The only thing that would help me was the spinal cord stimulator implant. You can ask your doc about it.
