I had a freak accident in 2008! I was getting up into my husband's lifted truck, when I slipped and fell. I came down on the curb. Basically curb stomped my ankle & it shattered. Crazy freak accident. I was a Bar Manager at the time & lost my job, because I was unable to be there due to my injury. Too many surgeries, it has been a long six years!! Thank you for asking. And thank you everyone for your support! I also want to let everyone know ... Keep the support & comments coming, it REALLY helps to keep my mind busy and help me not focus on all the nerve & phantom pain! {{{HUGS}}}

Do you take neurontin / gabapentin for the nerve pain?
If not, it really helps when a big gun is needed.

I am currently on ... Are you ready? Lyrica 50mg 3x daily, Oxycontin 20mg 2x daily, Oxycodone 10mg every 4 hours & Ativan 1-2mg every 6 hours. Also two other meds for my stomach. Too many pills, but they help!! I still feel the pain even on all these meds. The phantoms are the worst!! Before my ampution I was on a high dose of Gabapentin which honestly didn't so a thing for me, but I really didn't have nerve pain then. My pain clinic doctor insisted that I take it along with my pain meds.

Doctor gave me Hydrocodone for my back pain several years ago. It messed with my mind...was in a daze... but didn't seem to take the pain away. Eventually, it made me nauseous. That was good because I never took it again.

I swear by these pain patches....not all the pain is gone, but then one is supposed to know what is hurting, in my case anyway.....i am allergic to all pain meds except for dialudud and they won't rx that anymore! I have a non-@ addictive personality and took dialudid about 4 years ago for some pain and there was no problem with them rx'ing it, but now Dr's seem scared to rx it. Shame bc that is the only thing that has ever taken away pain completely and allowed me to function pretty normally. It was just a temporary thing, same as now, but no Dr will rx even though this temporary p as in is worse. *sigh*

OP I truly hope you feel better and heal soon.
