Thanku Anne and Lorraine
I "climbed" the WHO pain ladder as recommended by my neurologist for my chemo induced peripheral neuropathy and found that only Percocet worked for me...45mg/day. Not pain free but at least I can sleep better. We pain patients are being persecuted due to a hysteria created by PROP and one Dr. Kolodny...go ahead...look it up for yourself. It's unconscionable!
I have exactly the same symptoms due to spinal abnormalities. It's sciatica. I am on Pregabalin. I take a strong capsule going to bed, and most nights it stops the pain occurring.
