Pain
"I had a brain tumor in 2009 and part of it grew into the thalamus in my brain. This left me with a condition diagnosed as &quot;Thalamic pain syndrome&quot;. My doctor had prescribed me some Percocet but it was only helping a little. My neurologist put me on some gabapentin as well as nortriptyline. All of these medications helped a little but I was still in pain so my doctor prescribed me Nucynta ER (extended release). Fortunately with the addition of the Nucynta the pain has been manageable. I still use Percocets as needed but at least the pain is under some degree of control. "
