Does anyone know how to relieve the constant burning pain from nerve damage ?


Question:
My mom has been suffering terribly with what the doctors call post-herpetic neuralgia and have not had too much success treating it. The pain is excruciating. Has anyone you know had this cruel condition?

Answers:
Ask for Lyrica. It was designed for that very reason. Also, the doctor SHOULD definitely prescribe a pain med stronger than Tylenol 3. Its unbelievable that the doctor hasn't done that yet. GO SEE ANOTHER DOCTOR! Ask for Lyrica!!
Good Luck.
Has she seen a Neurologist for nerve block treatments?
This condition is very common after a bout of the shingles.

You mom's doctor should have given her pain medication for the pain. If not she should ask for some.

The Mayo Clinic lists several different things that can be done to treat the pain.
Sometimes, medications that are prescribed for seizures can reduce nerve pain. Neurotonin, Tegretol these are the brand names. Has she been evaluated by a specialist?? Specifically, a Neurologist. The pain from shingles and other viral infections that affect the nerve root pain , can linger for over a year or longer. It would be best that she seek the advice and/or treatment by a specialist. I hope this helps.
I am going thru the same thing myself right now. I am seeing a chiropractor. I have just a my fourth treatment and I can feel the difference. If you live in toronto I can give you the name of a great chiropractor.
Hello,

I am sorry to here about your mother and how her quality of life has diminished. I to suffered from nerve damage several years ago. The doctors put me on several medication trials but nothing seemed to work. Then a friend brought me a product that enhances your bodies ability to release your own adult stem cells, about 3 to 4 million within 30 to 60 min. It has helped me greatly and I am no longer in agony. My quality of life has returned. You can learn about the science behind adult stem cells and this product.
