HI, I have been suffering from extremely painful intercostal neuritis for years after a surgery removing my intestines because they were twisted. Im going to pain mgmt now and because I got pain meds from my family doctor until I could find other help, they wont take over the pain meds. Why? Should I look for a new dr. thanks
Hello, The whole point of pain management is to manage pain. In particular nerve pain has different Chat Doctor. In injured nerves, the prognosis for non-narcotic treatment is quite good with way better than 50 % having the pain more or less controlled by simple nerve pills like anti-epileptics at low doses. This might also be helped by lidocaine if the nerve is near the skin surface. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
