Suggest Treatment For Stump Pain
I am an amputee and have been so quite a long time. My problem is severe pain in the stump. On a scale of 1to10 it is a 10. These pains come on rather quickly about every few months and last at least a day. The pains come on every few minutes and last 10 or 15 seconds. The are very severe. I have talked to my Doctors about it but never a satisfied answer. I desperate and hope you can help. Thank you, Bobby

quite a lot. Any 'nerve pill' is likely to work:
lidocaine patch
anti-epileptics such as gabapentin
amitryptiline
and many others. A neurologist or pain managment physician, heck a regular doc too, should be able to treat this without need of narcotics.
