I can relate to looking fine and being in pain that is so high. I am young and actually just got carder for a lotto ticket so people think I can do things in a fast paced way. I had a lasy yell at me for being in a handicap spot and I have a sticker. It is hard to push through the mental and physical pain but I try to hold to hope that yes I may have this for ever and a degree of pain but it can be more functionable. Hugs to all

jakatak,
The neuroma causes 90 percent of the pain I have with PN, they don't want to do surgery on mine. Is your discomfort more or less after having the surgery. I would greatly appreciate you response on this subject. Thanks Lanny |

Stagger,
Many neuroma Dx's are incorrect and are in reality, PN. Surgery is either recommended, or performed .... when it is not the cause. I would check with a PN specialist before conferring with a neuroma surgeon- operable or inoperable.

Bob,
This neuroma developed after I was on Lyrica and last year I developed a tumor (cyst) on the back of my neck. Pretrial studies on rats showed that there were cases of tumors developing. I'm thinking of going back to Neurontin since I have been on Lyrica for over four years and will probably go back to Tramadol from Methadone. I wish I could get answers from the doctors, the last one told me I spend too much time on the puter. I don't see Neuro's any more. Thanks for your input. Lanny |

You are on METHADONE? I have a client on methadone. He is a former heroin user. He talks about what a horrible addiction methadone really is......that is such a powerful drug. I wonder if that is a drug that you should be taking. I don't think it has any affect on neurological pain.

Jack,
Methadone is used for PN in instances where other meds have failed to get successful results. It is quite effective for those who use it. It is a drug that can cause dependency, but so do many others for PN such as Lyrica, Neurontin, Cymbalta, Tramadol, etc.

Oh Bob, I can't address the effectiveness of Methadone on PN, but I have witnessed...first had the devastation of methadone withdrawal and the dangers of respiratory failure. I lost two clients to methadone overdose and another to suicide do to as he explained..."If I would have known how horrible methadone was, I wouldn't have given up on heroin. I understand the difference between pharmaceutical and street drugs....I just worry someone using this incredibly addicting drug if they can possible use one less deleterious.
