Pain Control
 

What works for everyone to help with this awful pain?

I've only tried Tramadol...sometimes, and only at night. And while it works reasonably well it also makes me sleepy and sometimes nauseous. I don't mind using it for pain control while I wait for a more permanent solution, i.e. surgery, but I don't want to be tied down to a medication for the rest of my life especially when I cannot function normally on it. I have been offered neurontin many times but I am very hesitant to try it because of the side effects.

Tramadol will take the edge off on a good day :( I have been given lortab 10 while I wait for surgery.....they make me so sick :( I was on neurotin for a year with the nerve issues I have in my foot. I didn't have any side effects except sleepiness at first. Sadly it didn't work. I am with you I hate drugs I just want to be fixed. Just waiting on a call from the surgery scheduler :)
