Nerve damage and neuromodulation

Hi Catnan

I am sorry to hear that you are having significant nerve pain.

This link has a bit of information.

Neuromodulation :: Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (rnoh.nhs.uk)

You could also give the Support Line a call and speak with one of the nurses who may be able to give you a bit more information on the treatment and what it entails.

Thanks very much, that all looks a bit scary! I think I’ll phone and get some more information 

I think a lot of treatments can sound scary when they are first suggested. Do give them a call and they should be able to talk you through it. They may also be able to suggest other treatments. I have nerve pain following chemo and was prescribed medication. I hope you can find something that helps

Thanks!

Hi, I phoned the surgeon’s secretary and she has emailed me a leaflet, explains everything and it doesn’t seem scary now! I was offered gabapentin but didn’t want to take it because of potential side effects. 
Fingers crossed this does the trick, many thanks for your responses. 

That's good to hear. I understand about the gabapentin- it's about weighing up the side effects and potential benefits and seeing what is right for you. I hope you find something that helps
