			<title>Toradol shot for siatic nerve pain??</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
I&#039;ve been having frequent siatic nerve pain in my lower back, which sends aching pains down my hips, thru the back of my legs, furthermore, leading to my feet and having a tingling sensation. I have read several different reviews about this shot and am scared of getting it, but am in dire need of relief. I have had this shot in the past for a migraine, which made my head burn. Any suggestions/recommendations for getting the shot or comfort without it?

I was diagnosed with TN just a few days ago. I am currently on Prednisone, which will gradually be titrated down; as well, I am taking Lyrica 50 mg twice a day. Fortunately, I have been able to identify and avoid my triggers of hot and cold, and for the most part, my pain has been tolerable; occasionally, I have short, sharp pains in my face/jaw. I am concerned about side effects as I have been tired and dizzy since I started the Lyrica. I also want to avoid the weight gain and would like to...

My docs are aware of both the headaches &#38; the acne.

			<title>How fast did your trigeminal neuralgia come on and what do you think caused it?</title>
			<description><![CDATA[
How fast did your pain start, especially if it was severe? My trigeminal neuralgia came on severely within 2 days. The pain was between an 8.5 to a 10 at times (on a scale of 10). It felt like shooting pain. The slightest thing would electrify my teeth and gums. Even talking made it worse for about 2 weeks, until the medicine to treat it started to work. I still have some pain. 

Does anyone have any ideas about what caused their trigeminal neuralgia? Did your pain just come on for no reason?...

My doctor recently increased me from 1800mg to 2700mg due to my neuropathy getting worse from the fibromyalgia. Ive recently noticed some tremors and tics in my eyes, face and arms. Im not sure if this is from the fibro or the increase of the gabapentin. It might be Im just having a fibro flare, Im not sure. The increase was just done 2 weeks ago. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

I have just started on Cymbalta for the treatment of nerve pain in my hips, butt and the back of my legs down to the knee and a lot of pain in my femoral nerve in the front of my right leg. At this point I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s a diabetic neuropathy or possibly something like mononeuritis multiplex. I&#039;m in Canada and therefore on a four month waiting list to see a neurologist. I started with one week of 30mg capsules and found I had immediate relief from the nerve pain. The pain had...

			<description><![CDATA[
I take Neurontin for nerve pain from Transverse Myelitis. It helps, but doesn&#039;t take all the pain away. Doctor put me on Baclofen. Everything I read said it&#039;s not good to take this long-term, and I&#039;ve been warned by others on the drug that it&#039;s AWFUL when you try to get off of it. Any thoughts? It&#039;s helping a little, too, but I still live with quite a bit of pain in my lower body/legs/feet.
