... for some time now, and it is just not helping at all.I was wondering which of the following drugs were from the strongest to less strong. I can not take Tylenol or aspirin. The drugs are, codeine, Demerol, morphine, Oxycontin, hydrocodone, or any other pain medicine you can think of. I now have a fracture in the arch of my foot, and the pain is 100 times worse. I know this is a big question, but please help if you can.
thank you

I have neuroapathy caused by diabeties I have been in alot of pain in my legs both feet and one arm and hand. I was put on all the pain meds. but one Dr. prescribed gabapentin It has reduced my pain so much I can go about my normal routine. and I dont have to take the ones you mentioned. I am sure it has its bad things too but it is worth it to be alert,not feeling drugged. I take it 3 times a day 600mg tablet. Look into it--- its worth it.

Thank you for answering my question. I am also on gabapentin with a total of 1800mg/day as are you. It helps to reconnect the nerve endings to get filling back in your legs, arms, etc. BUT some of the feelings I have gotten back are REAL PAINFUL... Most of it is in my feet. I have had several operations between my toes to cut the nerves that are causing the problem. That worked out well. Now the pain is in my ankles. That is why I am asking about the drugs... thanks again...
I'm on Cymbalta and Lyrica for the nerve pain, and both of them helped a great deal. I had a lot of relief with each increase in dose, but now they don't seem to be helping. A pharmacist I see for Wellness Counseling tells me that both of these meds are very harmful to your body - they can actually cause more neuropathy because they scramble the nerve signals and your brain doesn't know what to do with that. They are also stored in your fat cells, rather than being eliminated from your body by your liver. I was on Neurontin before the Lyrica, but had problems with word retrieval and brain fog. Just my experience with these meds -
