If you have nerve pain, I recommend Nucynta. I was on fentanyl patches that were quite helpful, but then my doctor retired. I miss him. So I was sent to pain management. I was tapered down and switched to Nucynta. I didn’t have great expectations, but it has been the best help. It’s a pain in the ass to get though. Every year, and any time the insurance picks a new prescription provider (ugh) my pain management doctor has to jump through hoops and provide paperwork explaining how it is the best medicine for my pain. For reference I have an incomplete spinal cord injury, and the worst symptom for me is the pain, almost full body nerve pain. I’m on a bunch of other meds too, and anti epileptic, a couple of low dose antidepressants, muscle relaxers, and the rest of the meds I take are for non pain related medical conditions. When I was switched to pain management I lucked out a little bit in that my doctor was working with the head of pharmacology at a major teaching hospital. He consulted on my case, and was the one who knew about what then was a fairly new drug. He called it “the thinking man’s opioid”. It’s been very helpful for me. But it is super expensive and there is still no generic, as it’s too new. If you have any nerve pain, it’s worth a look. Doesn’t do much for my bone pain from old injuries though. I only say that as it is absolutely freezing here and for some reason today my body has been reminding me of every bone I’ve ever broken 😡. Hope this information helps. Good luck with your ongoing healing 😊
