Nerve Pain ?

When i had cancer they had to cut a nerve in my neck and then they repaired it.
I take 1200 mg of Gabapentin a day. 600 in the mourning and 600 when i go to bed. It works great. But after about a year it starts hurting again. It causes a really bad ear ache.
My ear is starting to hurt again and i was wondering if any other people have nerve pain and what do they take.
I will talk to my doctor about it in December but i dont think i can last that long though.

I wished my meds would make sleepy. I have a really hard time faling asleep. I cant turn my brain off. LOL
if you need an adjustment in your meds, go see your doctor.

Or, there may be a specialist closer to you.

I think Gabapentin is generic for Neuronton.
I have been to 2 pain clinics but i will look into this one. I will try green M&Ms if someone says they will work.
Its crazy i will have 3 or 4 good days and then some bad days. Then some real bad days its crazy.
Simply put, if one fails to exercise frequently and intelligently, the easier it will become for them to seriously hurt themselves should they decide to start up an exercise program at an advanced age. Right now I am okay and without severe pain, but I have chosen to limit the type of exercises I do, the frequency, and the amount of motion I can get especially in my arms and neck. Should I overdo such exercises I'll suffer intense pain that could run for a month or more. When I do need to take medicine, I take Gabapentin, Vicodin, and Flexaril. I take as little Flexaril and Vicodin during these times as I possibly can. My doctor has given me permission to regulate the amount of each drug as long as it does not exceed certain amounts. Since I have "severely" limited my stretching exercises, I have been getting along w/o significant pain, and the only time I really suffer is due to exercising, or too much work, where stretching my arms and neck are concerned.
I complained for months that it made me into a zombie. I flat out refused to reload while I was under the influence of this nasty drug.[xx(]
I now take Pregablin (which is generic Lyrica) twice a day. I feel I am back to normal with minimal pain.
That being said I will have to have back surgery next Monday to have a disc removed & replaced, and rods installed to help fuse my L3 & L4.
I will be down & out for up to eight weeks, my entire fall deer hunting season is shot in the *...[V]

The VA had me taking 1200mg of Gabapentin four times a day for the nerve pain in my right leg.

Good luck on the surgery TS. So far I have been able to keep from having surgery, although I did have a couple of meetings with the surgeon I was going to use, I lucked out and started getting better.
I take no meds as of now, but was referred to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Have to be there early AM 10/8.
I'm having trouble with nerve pain also,....a lot like kimi's but also in my back and legs.

Good luck on the appointment, Mark.
10.325 of percocet 8 times a day for five years. The only thing that will help with my back and allow me to continue to work. I know it is killing my liver but so far the blood work has shown no affect. I take milk thistle to counter act the narcotics. Ain't life grand[;)][xx(]
That drug was designed for seizures. I don't agree with off label experiments on me. They proscribe that crap because of the current trend of not giving codeine as per current govt fads of letting you live in pain so you will suicide to escape intractable pain. That way they get your estate in taxes sooner.
Just what America needs is more govt intrusion between you and your doc.
