Yes, I just recently in April became an amputee. I lost my foot and limb. I experience real bad phantom pain, along with neorapathy, and I have charcot foot due to diabetes. I have no insurance. My question is I am on pain medication due to phantom pain...etc...and I hate telling my Dr about my pain cause I dont want her thinking I want more pain medication. I don t, I am on 30mg oxycodone 4x daily and oxymorphone er 15mg 3x daily, is there anything that isnt that strong. But will keep me pain free
Here you are already taking a good dose of painkiller. I suggest doing regular exercise suggested by your physiotherapist so that increase blood circulation with reducing stiffness in your soft tissue will help you to get some more pain relief. You can also use hot and cold pack frequently at home to get some more pain relief by reducing inflammation and relaxing soft tissues. Here have some patience and control your diet and sugar as well keep doing exercise with that only you will have good pain relief. Otherwise, the Chat Doctor.  Any time if you have watery or pus discharge from your amputee leg then do consult the doctor to rule out infection chances. Take care.
