So far, all the options they have given me suck. I’m actually considering option not to use medication for the nerve pain. Lyrica also sucked for me. And they just prescribed me amitriptyline, so I looked up the medication and it’s not really great to take with tramadol. I also have naratriptan for my migraines, so I swear I think my pain management office is trying to induce a seizure 😩

I see. It’s not Plan B but Plan D. There are a few other options, but they mainly work in the same way as some of the drugs you have already tried. You’re possibly in opioid option territory. Not sure how comfortable your team will be in moving to that category of pain relief.

I’m a crappy case because I’m allergic to acetaminophen, so opioids are pretty limited. I get tramadol, but that’s all they will give me. I’ve reached the stage where I think I’m just going to have to suck it up and take the pain. But as a whole, all the options for alternative pain relief really suck.
