Karen,
I am on Neurotin, The dose for Neurotin is very wide range,some get
relief from just a small dose 300mgs other it takes a few thousands. I
am currently on 2800mgs of Neurotin,they keep upping hoping it will
bring better results for me.
The areas that you describe are some of the areas I have pain in plus a
more. The neurotin seems to work in some areas and not others,I suffer
with face pain and the neurotin helped with my face,didn't help with the
lower doses but the higher we went the better results I was getting.I
surely know when I have skipped a dose too because my face will flare
right up. As with any med everyone is different and results vary from
person to person all you can do is talk with your doctor and find out if
this is the right med for you. Often when you start the neurotin the
side effects can be hard,but with time they do ease up,but always report
side effects to your doctor there are other meds that are similar to
neurotin..Good luck
