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'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

Lyrica works, first I though it's too quick, but I'm pretty sure now that's it
Luckily no sides with it besides feeling a bit slow and having hard time going out of bed ("just another minute" thing)
When I get up though I don't feel sleepy or dizzy

Now I read all the horror stories of withdraw, I don't think I want to cross the 50mg dose/day, but most likely it will stop doing the trick after a while
What made you go from 50a night to full 200/day Chris?
did it stop working for you at that dose or it never did?

Hi banjanti

In regard to starting "a full cocktail of supplements" - you may want to consider starting them one at a time with 3-4 weeks between a new one. That way you might be able to tell if it's helping or not. If you start them all at once you won't know which ones are working - equally if you have any adverse effects you won't know which one is causing it. Also keep in mind that some supplements/medications may take 3 months or more to show any beneficial effect - research the therapeutic properties before starting.

All the best for finding some effective supplements and please come back and let us know what you find works for you.

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.
