Re: Neurontin

I've yet to notice any side effects. I do think it has lessened the pain some.

Re: 53 Yr Old with BP caused by Virus?

<r>Wow! Howdy neighbor! I live in Manassas, Va and am going through the same thing as your wife. I too was suffering from a URI, woke up one night with an incredible pain in my neck (thought I'd slipped another disc) and within 3 days no use of my right arm. Well at least no use in the deltoid and b...

Re: Neurontin

Oxycontin is not the same thing as Neurontin, as far as I am aware.

I am taking 300mg 3 times daily, and today is one of those days I want to chew my arm off to get away from the pain.

Re: Effects on Pain

<r>I am so new to all of this, I am only about a month in! I'm still fighting the case of nerves that arises eeverytime I think about how badly my shoulder hurts and how I can't raise my right arm. This website has been great so far. It helps alleviate some of my fears, although it does raise a few ...

Re: This is all so new

<r>Annette, I can't thank you enough for your response! It actually brought tears to my eyes. I didn't even have a "real" accident, best they guess at the moment is that it came on from an infection. I have been married 18 yrs, he announced to me last Dec (after 17 yrs of marriage, and two kids a gi...

Re: This is all so new

<r>Thanks Karen!<br/> <br/> Today at the Dr's he did an EMG, and says he thinks I have BPI from a viral infection, which he says should clear up on it's own in about 6 to 8 months judging on how far down my shoulder/arm it goes.

This is all so new

<t>Hi All,<br/> <br/> I've not quite been diagnosed with BP yet. I've seen my Ortho, who had me get an MRI thinking I had once again blown a disc in my neck as I have already had fusion between c-5 and c-6. Not another disc, so he starts discussing BP as a possibility, and tomorrow I go to the neuro...
