I also suffer from nerve pain due to spinal stenosis, bulging discs, sciatica etc and docs refuse to operate or give me epidurals because I have 2 blood disorders, ITP and Von Willebrands, so I'm making do with monthly visits to pain management where I have to give a urine sample and doc talks to me for 5 mins and sends in a refill order for Gabapentin(3600 mgs a day) and oxycodone 10/325 2x a day. It helps but sometimes walking is very painful. I'm also dealing with adrenal insufficiency after 2 years of high doses of prednisone which worsened my nerve pain after tapering off.
