Hi I've found a lot of great info here. I was DX with DDD and spinal stenosis lumbar apine in April. Since then I have been on Hydromorph contin 3mg 3x/day plus dilaudid increased to 2mg 4x/day. Plus was started on lyrica 75mg 3x/day and baclofen 10mg 3x/day. Had to stop the baclofen as it caused urinary retention(just couldn't pee!). At the same time my lyrica was decreased to 150mg 2x/day due to severe edema in my legs not helped by a diuretic. lyrica decreased over 3wks and then started Neurontin 100 mg 3x/day with no effect!! Have now increased to 400mg 3x/day still poor effect. Now also have more pain lower back down outer and back of legs and feet with tingling and heavy feeling,lack of strength in legs. Muscle tension like a tight band in my mid back. Am also on Clonazepam 1mg 3x/day and had an increase in my dozepin to 75mg at bed. REALLY need suggestions for what to try next for the pain and what dosesto start when pain this bad. Also if I were to switch to MS contin(which makes me itch from eyebrow to toenails)what could I take other than Benadryl to conteract the itch. I am a fast metabolizer and have allergies/ sensitivities to a lot of meds. Including opiates. Looking forward to any and all help. See my GP towmorrow June 24.:
