I've been talking to a friend who happen to have the sane problem, he said he got 90% remission just by pregabaline 25mg at bed time and alpha lipoic acid
Dose seems extremely low from what I'm reading,
What dose are you on?

Amitriptylene is also good for sleeping. If you sleep well your body has a better chance of recovering so I'd try and maintain it.

Hello everyone, there is one question asked that I also would like to hear some feedback on. It is, if the pain is compression related, or even Neuroma (scar tissue blocking nerve I believe from a prior surgery), could surgery be a option for producing favorable results?

Best Regards,
Bob

I think your better off consulting a doctor about that one

I've started lyrica 25 mg this night, no side effects...no effects at all, even didn't felt sleepy
Pain seem to be lower, but can't say if that can be related at the moment
Bumping up to 50 this night

Thanks for the update.

R lipoid acid sounds worth a blast, I'm thinking of trying it soon for a while.

Won't hurt! I'm starting myself of full cocktail of supplement

The newest update:
My ANA and ANCA blood results are negative, so it's not autoimmune
All blood work is perfectly fine...

I have to clue what to check next, I refuse to put "idiopathic" label in it

I guess I'll check genetics
Will run vit profile as well but I have a feeling nothing is there, I'm a carnivorous and my diet it's pretty reasonable

Since what you want is a theoretical answer, then I'll repeat what I've been told. Yes, theoretically, nerve pain from a compression will resolve in time after the compression is removed. Nerves regenerate very slowly, so amount of damage = amount of regeneration time. What I know for a fact is that post-damaged nerves aren't the same as pre-damaged ones. Things can get a bit wonky, for lack of better word. I have spots along a regenerated nerve that I cannot feel, and even weirder, I can touch point A but feel it in part B. Small price to pay of course, but I did want to mention it.
