im a 43 year old mother. ive had neruopathy for the past 7 years. it started from a herniated disc.
now i find my life totally unbarable, and like you, i feel no body can understand the pain im in 24
hours a day , seven days a week. the only solice i've found is in oxycontin. it truely saved my life. but
at the same time i've become addicted to it, so either way is pure hell. the burning in my feet and toes is probably the most horrific pain one can go through. i do understand, and the numbing in the leggs , butt ect... thank god i have a caring doctor. but nothing takes the pain completely away. i also take lyrica , cymbalta ect... but the oxycontin helps more than anything i've ever tried, its the only thing that gives me a somewhat normal life ( as close to normal as i guess i'll ever have) but it does help to know im not alone and there are people out there who know the pain im going through and who understands.... thank you for your post ......
