Thanks for asking about me. Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that returning to PT made a difference. I have gotten my pain levels back down somewhat, and I have lowered my Gabapentin dosage such that my GI system is back to normal again. Hooray! I haven't even been to PT since J...

I have been having trouble sleeping, too. I have terminal insomnia, which means I have no difficulty falling asleep but I wake up early. I can only get 4 hours or so. I have been taking Ambien, which has helped a lot. Last night I tried to sleep without it and again I woke up without it. I think mos...

Hi Stratts. Sorry to hear that you're in pain. While all of us have different problems, we understand to some extent what you are going through. Hang in there, and I hope you can find something that alleviates your pain. Biker George.

Thanks, Helen. I appreciate it very very much. BG.

Had a tough day again today. Am going back on Cymbalta (30 mg) and Gabapentin. Hopefully only temporarily on the latter. Discomfort level increasing without a corresponding explanation. (Although I did play roadie of sorts for a large musical gig yesterday, so maybe that was the reason.) I've been s...

Never mind. Nerve transfers are used only as a last resort when there is almost no nerve function. Apparently transplanted nerves apparently only help restore some, but not much, sensation.

I started looking into this topic too because of the fact that my own recovery seems to be hitting a plateau. I don't think there are many surgeons who would attempt such an operation. I imagine it has already been tried, and I imagine that if the operation had been successful we would have heard ab...
