Question: I have chronic pain (IPN) as well as ITP. ITP for 20 years plus. Pain increasing while my PCP is decreasing my pain Rx. Help me if you can.
Brief Answer:
a few things.
Detailed Answer:
We cannot prescribe over the internet.
So, several points about pain.
The cause of it would be a key point. ITP means any of the aspirin drugs are quite dangerous. ITP can cause pain due to causing gangrene. that is quite a serious problem and needs immediate treatment to prevent loss of an organ/limb. Or, it might be another cause that could be corrected.
Then there is the type of pain. Several features can imply it is due to a nerve that is injured or sick. Then any medicine that damps down nerves (novacaine, anti-epileptics, etc) will work on pain.
there can be interruption of the nerve thru surgery.
