Nerve Pain
Hello everyone, hope all is well. I'm keen to know if you have experienced nerve pain months after surgery, chemo or radiotherapy. Part of my chemo treatment was taxol and nerve damage can be a side effect. Also the surgery for an ancillary clearance. During all the treatment I endured quite a bit of pain ( must have a strong thresh hold but I think if I'm honest don't wish to ask for pain relief!) stupid isn't it?!
I've been informed by my pain specialist that I have pereferal neorophathy ( wheres spell check when you need lol) I've been prescribed endone to use on occasion and slow release contin. I've heard about pain patches which I could wear during the day. I'm leaning more to the patches as the endone I need to be careful of as I drive as part of my job. It's strange, the more active I am I feel the pain so wait until I get home before taking pain relief. What's everyone's experience with this? I'd appreciate your feedback. I know we are all different so it'll be nice to hear what has worked for you. Cheers, Donna x
