How To Ease The Pain On My Paralysed Left Side From Hip To Toe?

hello, my name is Jacqueline im 44 5foot 8inches, 68kgs & im a 2x car accident victim with paralysis in my left hip, leg, foot and 4toes after 5 spinal surgeries but I have constant pain in that paralyzed area, my biggest problem is that I suffer on an almost daily basis with what I can only describe as "electric shocks" throughout my foot & toes that hit me every 30-60 seconds for upto &beyond 12hours at a time. The pain causes me to scream into a pillow like im being stabbed to death and even tho I have strong drugs eg: Ketamine, it only helps minimally at best. I can't live through it much longer. Can anyone suggest anything? Legal?

hai,your condition is really pathetic.
looks like u have already got addicted to ketamine also.
electric shocks are due to injury to the nerves firing even with slightest injury.
this usually does not have a permanent solution.
u can go for gabapentin,pregablin,added with methylcobalamine twice daily.local irritation of the nerves can be decreased with application of local painkiller ointments.
good luck.take care.
