Scatiaca in my buttocks and ankle..tramadol makes me sick. pregabin nightmares and dancing hands and feet. taking napraxin as well as paracetamol... can any one advise anything?
Hi there, Tramadol and Gabapentin give me awful mental disturbances, I will not touch them, sent me crazy I dont know what they put in this cocktail but dont think its very good, the only painkiller I manage with is Co-Codamol, or Zapain, the doctor tells me there isnt anything else, I am waiting to visit the pain clinic, my pain is worse sitting and is on my bottom bone, feels like Im sitting on a golf ball, I am full of atheritus all the lower half of me, the pain in my bottom brings on this wicked sciatic nerve pain and in turn gives me cramp in my Hamstring Muscle, last night Cramp woke me up, I had continuouse spasms for over 10 minutes and could feels all the nerves jumping, I have 2 discs missing down there so guess its crushing nerves, my Doctor says theres no point in a Scan because I only had one 4 years back dispite me saying it has got a lot worse, at the moment Co-Codamol is my only port of call for pain plus hot water bottles, I used to have Naproxin but they made me bleed, I sometimes try and combine Ibuprofen once then 3 hours later Co Codamol, I find it helps a lot inclining on a chair away from the pain. I dont know if any of this helps, I like you get stabbing pains in my ankle and foot, guess its the nerves, hoping that this will eventually give us some relief from our pains if only but temporary.
I have arthritis in my lower back and body since the age of 40. I did have naproxen for a while but the Gp stopped them due to long term use that can cause ulcers and bleeding. Gaberpentin I take for nerve pain which is the only drug that helps. I also take codeine at night to help with sleep. I suspect you have nerve pain also. I would advice you go back to your Gp and ask for a review of your drugs and a referal to a pain clinic who will have a better understanding of what drugs to prescribe and help with ways in which to manage then pain.
thanks both
