I take Lyrica for my phantom pain. They were experimentling with it at the time of my accident. It works great. You and your doctor just have to experiment with the dosage and number of times a day to take it. If I forget to take it or take it too soon I get phantom pain and have to take another one to get back on schedule.

Let me know how it works for you,
Arlen

Hi Austen Nice Boston you have there I have a granddog named Sparky whose a Boston he gets along great with my grandson Hayden whose only 8 months old they like to play fetch the baby kicks the ball and Sparky fetches it. Any way I take Lyrica also and it helps a lot with the phantom pains, possibly you could just take it at night. if that's when it bothers you, it makes me a little tired too. I see you read some pretty cool stuff I would like to recommend The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, it's a series of about 10-12 books like fantasy/magic adventure all rolled into 1, if you ever want to chit chat or anything send me a line :)

You need to talk with your doctors for sure .My recommendations as I have been aka for 11 years after having 68 surgeries.I had excrutiating life draining PLP. Due to my brain forming such a memory of the pain I was in while recovering in the burn unit from being dragged down I-75. I had a complete degloving of entire leg including loss of heel down to bone. 23 broken bones plus I was hit by a car two years later.I'm so thankful that my pain is better. MEDICATIONS Elavil, only at night-will make you sleepy but also works on the transmitters and can greatly decrease PLP. Cymbalta is also used for nerve pain. Helps me. Honestly the best med that has done wonders for me is methadone. Its not what one might think. Please discuss with your docs as I know this is causing you distress which affects every aspect of your life. Stay tough cutie pie.
