Has anyone ever dealt with nerve damage before?

My ex-wife.

Bitch got on everyone's nerves.

Yes.

Surgery in right hand. I have pain in my pinky that bothers me from time to time. The surgery was over 10 years ago.

Had surgery on my face and lost feeling on the right side of my face for over a year. Surgery was almost 4 years ago and I do get pain from time to time.

It sucks. Just deal.

Cut through nerves in leg for emergency surgery some years Back

For a month the nerve damage would make my skin feel like it was on fire if I stretched too far walking

It gradually subsided into numbness

Most of the feeling came back. Minor numn spot on my quad persists 6 years later

I had a pretty bad hand injury when I was in high school, I never regained feeling in one of my fingers.

Have they done a nerve conduction study?

Do you have motor impairments or just sensory?

To be honest it will be a slow process and whatever you have at 1 year post GSW, will be what you have to live with

yes in my right foot had to have something cut out I was on lyrica for the time I was In the hospital. it really didn't help I couldn't even wear shoes, I had to where slippers for like six months the pain has never really went away but is manageable now and its been nearly 2 years. I still have bad days with decent amount of pain, good luck with that.

I had a Doctor hit my Sciatic Nerve with an lower-back injection.

Worst pain I've ever felt for 49 days.

The Nurse Practitioner there finally gave me a straight answer and said it may go away in a week or it could never go away.

She said the longest she had seen something like mine last was a Year.

Nerve pain is much tougher to get under control than other kinds.

Other than Anti-Inflamatories and pain meds have they prescribed you anything like Lyrica or Neurotin?

I am dealing with this right now. I was in the hospital for 15 days in December.

I had a nerve conduction study in January and my neurologist said that I have severe nerve damage in my lower legs. He said that it was caused by being in the hospital bed for so long. My right leg is worse. At first both of my legs felt like they were on fire constantly, then my lower legs, and now it's only in my feet. I feel like I'm waking on a baseball in the ball of my foot. I can't feel the outside of my lower legs.

I had to walk with a walker for 2 months. I'm down to one crutch now. I'm trying to get my range of motion back. I have more pain at the end of the day after I've walked all day.

My neuro said that the nerves will heal but it will take time. I'm relatively young and I don't have diabetes or any other condition that would slow the healing process. He said it would probably be 6 months before I'm 100%.

I take Lyrica. It works much better than neurotin. I'm up to 150 MG 3 times a day now. I still have pain, but it's not as bad as before. I am not having any side effects from the lyrica.

When they had to break open my ribs to remove part of my lung, they had to sever nerves. I can't feel a good foot by 5 inch section on my left side.

Every now and then, a synapse will get through and it will just be hilarious amounts of pain and it'll vanish after about 3 minutes.

I used to be insanely overprotective of that side, but now I will just politely tell people not to touch me in that area. I don't understand why people want to run their fingers over a scar, but it's just so uncomfortable to not be able to feel anything but the pressure.
