I've had severe nerve pain for about 4 years, I am on disability - I was approved the first time. That should tell you how severe it has been. T11 and T12 were severely rotated, and T10, L1 L2 were also rotated. The pain runs across the #11 Nerve - Intercostal nerve. They tried meds like Neurontin and Lyrica,they helped with the pain a lot but I couldn't tolerate either, both caused me severe side effects and I had to quit both. All they can do is give me narcotics and send me to the pain clinic - both methods are ineffective for me.I've improved a lot in the past year, mostly through physical therapy - but I still don't have enough control of pain - and I'm trying to get where I can work again. My wife died a year ago (she was 42, I am 45 now) -and I don't want to be home all the time,I want to be productive, and I try very hard.The pain along the 11 nerve is still fairly bad,and if I go off the narcotics it's unmanageable. I've gone to lots of doctors for 4 years,not much help
