marijuana is the only safe/effective nerve pain relief thing I have found.

Lyrica and all these prescription drugs for nerve pain have so many bizarre side effects they are just downright scary...not to mention not reliable.

a j of strong herb and a good nights rest = bye bye nerve pain.

You live in one of the best places in the country for medical MJ, get a medical card and find a dispensary. [Big Grin]

You could try Ultram.

When I was sick with lots of symptoms, I tried various left over meds I had on hand. I was surprised at how Ultram took care of lots of things.

I just took it every once in a while to get some relief when things were very bad for a long time.

You may have to try various meds that help nerve type pain. Maybe doc can give you some free samples to try.

I feel for you.

Batherapy bath salts (original formula) will help you. It's made by Queen Helene. Do a Google search.

I have some devil's claw cream that may have given me some relief, but the pain was so bad at the time, I wanted to cry.

The pain was absolutely horrid. Plus seizures. I couldn't walk a block.

Lyrica was the first thing that gave me some real relief. Pain is very difficult on the body, and for me, removing the pain helped my body concentrate on healing.

Best wishes; Metta

I had a milder version of that and acupuncture did really well for me at getting rid of it.
