I also have nerve pain in my leg because they waited too long to repair my pinched nerve. Pain meds don't help a lot. Mine flares up when I am on my feet too long and I get inflammation in my back. That pressure worsens mine. That's an indication for me to stay in my recliner, elevate legs for the day, or two. Ice pack helps my back. I use to be on a TENS unit years ago when my pain started. It intensifies mine, so that is not an option. I also use Diclofenac Topical (Valteran) works good for me. Our bodies are all different.
I feel your pain!💕

Hi Deborah Z. Well it's tens machine for me.to help nerve pain non of my meds don't work for it.iv bought a numbing effect cream I placed it all over me.lasts 2 hours or so.lots of numbing creams out like choosing a one at pharmacy.other than that it's a really hard pains I wish you well 💖

I wish you good luck with what your doing. I was just changed from neurotin to Lyrica- it seems to be helping my pain better. Sending hugs and prayers 🙏❤️🙏

I just learned about RF ablation. I have an appointment to see if it will work for me.

RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure used to reduce pain. An electrical current produced by a radio wave is used to heat up a small area of nerve tissue, thereby decreasing pain signals from that specific area. RFA can be used to help patients with chronic (long-lasting) low-back pain. RFA has proven to be a safe and effective way to treat some forms of pain. It also is generally well-tolerated, with very few associated complications.

Radiofrequency ablation/lesioning is a procedure used to provide longer term pain relief than that provided by simple injections or nerve blocks. Many patients who are being considered for this procedure have already undergone simple injection techniques like Epidural Steroid Injection, Facet Joint Injection, Sympathetic Nerve Blocks, or other nerve blocks with pain relief that is less prolonged than desired. By selectively destroying nerves that carry pain impulses, the painful structure can be effectively denervated and the pain reduced or eliminated for anywhere from a few months to up to 12 months.

What types of conditions will respond to Radiofrequency Lesioning?
There are a multitude of chronic pain conditions that respond well to this treatment. Chronic spinal pain, including spinal arthritis (spondylosis), post-traumatic pain (whiplash), pain after spine surgery, and other spinal pain conditions are those most commonly treated with RFL. Other conditions that are known to respond well to RFL include some neuropathic pain conditions like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS or RSD), peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes, and other assorted chronic pain conditions. A patient’s candidacy for RFL is usually determined by the performance of a Diagnostic Nerve Block. This procedure will help to confirm whether a patient’s pain improves just for the duration of the local anesthetic (or not). Patients who have little to no pain relief after a diagnostic nerve block are not candidates for a neurodestructive procedure like RF ablation/lesioning.

There are many antidepressants that also work on pain. When pressure is really low, I add aleve to my other treatments. I like CBD slave.
