Hi there. It happened to me too. Had a microdiscectomy and have been in chronic pain for a decade. It sucks when you're the 1 in (large number), doesn't it?!

Hi Moodeygirl, just want to add that I had a cervical fusion in 2012 that never healed and they say the sctews are loose top. Since I have severe emphysema and copd they can't go back and "fix" it. I so feel your pain amd frustration. I hope you can find some help soon, this is no way to live.

Hi Moodeygirl I’ve also had two bad ops, these are meant to help but have not. I cannot find pain relief that does not leave me feeling thick headed and dizzy. I’m now on Preagablin. Last night I could not sit up without feeling dizzy, today I have halved the dose as I have to drive tomorrow and need a clear head. Rather pain than an accident. So I feel your pain, if anyone else on pregabalin how do you manage?

I've been on pregabelin for years and have found them very effective. Sorry you haven't. Have you thought about a neuro modulator?

Just stopped Pregabalin after 6 years. Third day, bad withdrawal. However, on a positive note, can now feel my fingers again and muscle jerks have all but disappeared. Nasty drug.

Ask to be referred for a neuro stimulator. If you need more info let me know
