Update.
Well, have had an improvement in my pain levels..... Not massive, but enough to be able to start thinking I may get my life back. I'm not sure what is giving the most relief, as I've started a couple of things at the same time.
I have had 2 sessions of acupuncture. She uses red light therapy on me as well, and I have managed to up my gabapentin to 300mg 2 times a day. On a good day this is really helping take my neuropathic pain down a notch.
I make a conscious effort to remind myself that the horrible burning pain is not a wound or fissure... It's nerve damage. This has helped to settle my mind somewhat that I'm not constantly re tearing all the time.
It's still pretty painful to sit...... But I'm hoping this will get better as things go along.
I haven't heard anything yet about the nerve stimulation... But I will get on about that and see if pester power will hurry things up.
