Suggest Treatment For Depression And Severe Pain In The Hand
My grandson accidentally shot himself with a shotgun about 18 months ago. He now suffers from severe pain and burning in his right hand and arm. He takes gabapentin, but it doesn t help much. They gave him Simbalta, but it made his depression worse. Can you suggest anything else that might be useful. What about all the meds that contain B1, B12, etc. Anything that you can suggest will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
We have to rule out possible causes like fibromyalgia. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Avoid unwanted stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation can help a bit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
