Thank you Sassafrass! I will look into that. I cannot get off the Gabapentin right now, I tried to reduce the dosage from 900mg to 600mg and my nerve pain returned.

I am not 100% sure that PEA works as I started it with ALCAR and other supplements. But the science looks good and I have so many issues with my nerves that it likely can only help.

Are you taking gabapentin 900 mg three times per day? What are your symptoms that returned? Thanks!

Yes, 900mg 3x a day. I have nerve pain down both legs and arms, very painful at the elbows, affecting the ulnar nerve and my fingers. Cannot hold a coffee cup. The medication lessens the pain; tingling; burning and sensitivity. Tried to reduce the med by 300mg and within 2 days, all the pain; tingling and burning came back. I am so grateful for the medication, it has given me a sense of normalcy and the ability to return to work.
I am 14 weeks post-op hysterectomy and apparently this is a complication of surgery called Surgery-Induced Nueropathy. It started at 3 weeks post-op. Totally normal prior to surgery. Praying it will resolve soon! |

Dollymolly,
I haven't heard of post hysterectomy neuropathy. Does it normally resolve over time? I had surgery three months prior to the start of symptoms. However, my symptoms were misconstrued as cardiac, stroke, then labeled as anxiety induced when that didn't prove to be true. It took awhile to get a diagnosis. I had to keep pushing. Thanks for the info! SherryW |

My OBGYN stated that it should resolve itself in a year or so and no permanent damage should occur. I recently went on Whole30 to reduce inflammation, and it helped my symptoms. If you have acid reflux, your body is in an inflamed state.
I am doing everything I can to get better! It truly is a struggle. Look up “post surgical neuropathies” and “Surgically-Induced Neuropathic Pain (SNPP)”. I am unable to post links. |

The neuropathy can probably happen after any surgery, mine came on over 9 yrs ago after hip replacement...talk about regrets, yes I have some. I try so so much and I get help and trust the Grape Seed Extract I have been taking for a long time helps too. A friend was on gabapentin for long time with all it's side effects and now off it, and takes Grape Seed Extract, and she's managing better...and no side effects.
I've posted plenty about this wonderful antioxidant. Re: hysterectomy, I had one probably close to 40 yrs and left with god awful sciatic nerve damage. It's been flaring in the last year or so...just awful things can and often do happen to us when we are traumatized with surgeries. Body does not like to be cut....truth. |
