Nerve Damage On Right Hip Due To Cancer. Chronic Pain. Hallucination, Panic, Seizures, Trouble Breathing Due To Intake Of Gabapentin And Cymbalta. Suggestions?
I have had cancer since 1996. In 2011 it went to my right hip & I collapsed, it broke. Due to my situation I developed nerve damage in my right hip. A pain specialist Rx'd me Gabapentin 300mg. Didn't take pain away did cause me to hallucinate. So he switched me to Cymbalta, caused sezuires, panic, trouble breathing. Had to stop. I'm still in chronic pain. Any suggestions?

Proper pain management appears to be the best management for u.
Morphine with other supportive medicines like paracetamole, Voveron-50mg, Tab Alprazolam and drugs to take care of Nausea- Tab- Pentoprazole+ Domperidone wirh Laxative- Isabgoal and tab Dulcolex/Cremafinn may help u much. Try it and give a feedback to me if time permits.
