Re: Drez Road
<t>Tyson,<br/> <br/> I'm sorry about the severity of your injuries. Our TBPI injuries seem to be much more complex than just the TBPI. Once one thing goes, so many other things seem to follow.<br/> <br/> I haven't had a follow-up visit, but in the hospital I had a similar outcome, just not as severe...

Re: Drez Road
Back home from the surgery. The surgeon said there was a lot more damage than showed on the the MRI. Stiff and sore. It looks like there will be a significant reduction in the pain, but I'll know more in a few days.

Re: Help-Phantom nerve pain - Chronic Nerve Pain
<t>You hopefully will receive a wide variety of opinions and advice. Research everything. I'm 13 years into this nightmare. Nothing has helped for more than a couple of days (Oxycontin and Lyrica for a few days before the pain quickly burned through them). I have done all of the pills, patches, atta...

Re: Drez Road
I was approved for the DREZ operation.
It is scheduled for the end of the month.
The doctor said that 50% had 50% or greater reduction of pain.

Re: Lyrica
<t>It didn't seem to help me, but a lot of people say it helps. Weight gain was an issue for me.<br/> <br/> My head was weird for a while, but I started out at 900mgs., way too much at the start.<br/> <br/> There are a number of people on the net who says it tough coming off of it, similar to Oxycon...

Lyrica amount prescribed
Is anyone being prescribed 900mg of Lyrica?
I was told it was too high of a dose by a neurologist.
I haven't found anyone posting that they are taking that much Lyrica.

Re: Drez Road
<t>Hi Kathleen,<br/> Is there a link to any studies where it went all to hell. I've seen a few postings on the web where someone had a bad outcome, but most of the studies I've read show 70% of appropriately screened candidates have significant improvement with pain reduction.<br/> <br/> I went thro...

Drez Road
I saw a doctor last week to see if I am a candidate for the DREZ procedure. He wants to run additional tests to confirm if I'm a go.
After 13 years without any relief, I am hopeful that I may have some movement forward.
