hi all, ive posted here a time or two. i had surgery on march 27. shattered acessory bone removal and peroneal tendon repair.
does anyone have any way to relieve this nerve pain? im not sleeping but a few hours a night because its so intense. im going insane. ive told my dr and pt. dr brushes it off with the usual “its normal” … okay thats fine but how can i help this because me not sleeping is causing issues. pt has taken it more serious with massaging the incision and scar tissue. which hurts like ■■■■, but at least she is trying to provide me with some relief.
thank you in advance.
your doctor should have given you some pain meds.
pain meds won’t do a thing if its nerve pain. cymbalta can help.
thats what i was thinking with the pain meds, i dont have any left anyways. i wonder if the dr would be willing to write me a script for it. im so funky with taking meds, and i hate asking for them
i take cymbalta for nerve pain. i had ankle reconstruction march 12 and its amazing. it works so well. also try desensitized therapy. start with a cotton ball and work your way up. your nerves just need to wake up still.
