[quote=Sweetness]Lidoderm patches. They are actually approved for shingle pain however my pain management doctor prescribed them for my nerve pain. You put it on in the area of pain and leave it there for 12 hrs, then off for 12. You can use up to 2 at a time. No side effects (for me) and work more than any pain pills, etc.


Darn they wouldn't have a patch big enough for me I hurt from head to foot most days it's just the degree of pain that varies.
I can't remember the medication they wanted me to take but it was supposed to retrain the nerves so they didn't feel pain but I had a reaction to it so can't take it
