Post Nephrectomy Symptoms Posted: 03-14-04 02:42am
I had a kidney removed 3 1/2 years ago and
am left with; 1-spasms in the umbilical
area that neurontin controlls,2- a pain
from the rear of my incision to my mid
back(i could not stand for a month after
surgery), 3-a very sore rib cage, 4- worst
of all the skin around the incision,45 sq
in., is ultra sensitive to light touch
like clothes so I have to wear lido
patches.
I have had epidurals, nerve blocks, been
on methadone and anti depressant remeron
and now only take the neurontin as the
others disturbed my psyche. Getting off
the methadone was to hell and back. I am
in constant distress.
Is there something i've missed trying
besides acupuncture hypnosis and all those
desperate maybes or am I just going to
grin and bear it? At least I got it(rcc)
at 60 so my entire life was not ruined.
Thanx for listening

I would suggest you consider herbal &
homeopathic remedies, re the latter
there's a dr i've seen post on these
forums a homeopath I recall there's apost
from him with contact details under
suggestions for new forums - title
homeopathic medicine - if you're really in
pain & I agree that getting off all
those meds was a great idea, i'd check
this guy out. He's in india but could
advise you if there's anything that
homeopathy might be able to do to help.
