Bizarrely, though, growing pains actually have nothing to do with growingâmore on that later. And while they are nothing to worry about and usually disappear by the age of 14, growing pains can be confused with more serious health problemsâso itâs good to know what they are and what they arenât.
Because these medications were designed to treat conditions other than pain, their use in neuropathic pain treatment is termed off-label use. But donât let that worry you: many adjuvant analgesics have proven more effective at treating chronic nerve pain symptoms than traditional painkillers. Anticonvulsants used for nerve pain treatment: 1  Gabapentin (Neurontin) 2  Pregabalin (Lyrica) 3  Carbamazepine (Tegretol) 4  Oxcarbazepine (Trileptal) 5  Phenytoin (Dilantin) 6  Valproate (Depacon) 7  Lamotrigine (Lamictal)
I am currently taking 900mg Neurontin 4x daily, 10mg Hydrodone 6x a day, 400mg Ibuprofen 6x a day, and use 3 Lidoderm 5% patches for 12 hours a day. Heat and cold ahs done nothing for the pain.I have been seeing a pain management doctor for about 3 months now. My main question is, does nerve damage heal?
