I am twelve weeks post-surgery. My nerves began "firing up" three weeks ago, especially in the legs. It's somewhat like restless leg syndrome. I just want to keep shifting positions. (I described this jumpy sensation in another post.) Now that I upped my dose of Lyrica (similar to Neurontin or Gabapentin), it has brought down the pain element, but I still can't relax and go to sleep at night. So, I stay up and watch borrowed movies until I drop off. During the daytime, I don't notice it as much.
QUESTION 1: I know that many of you have experienced some post-operative nerve issues, like itching or something similar to the sensations I described. I just wonder HOW LONG did you experience it?
QUESTION 2: How long did you remain on 'nerve' medication such as Lyrica, Neurontin, or Gabapentin after your surgeries?
Thanks for your help!!
