Try Baclofen. It's an older drug and really inexpensive. I have nerve damage in my right leg from a car accident. The Baclofen calms down the nerve. Nothing totally stops the pain, but it can make it more bearable.

Gina this is a very good question, but a very complex one which requires a number of different answers. Ok lets concentrate on the back problem first. First I think that you should go on an upside down machine first for at least 5 minutes, the shopping channel sells them and most fitness clubs have them. What will happen is soon as you turn yourself upside down your natural body weight will stretch your spinal colum and allow your pinched nerve to be free, which should result in no more pain and free movement. Now if that doesn't work spend the money and go to a massage therapist and get them or her to concentrate on that area to release the pressure and increase the flow. Also it wouldn't hurt to take some calcium citrate with magnesium for the bone structure. Now for the ankle, this to me sounds like an old injury that never healed properly and most likely will be something that you will have to end up dealing with your whole life. So hears what I suggest, first get yourself a foot bath, put water and epson salts in it and then just soak your foot during the daytime and then buy yourself a magnetic necklace, make sure it is all magnets, then wrap it around your ankle and put a big sock around it when you go to bed. That should reduce your swelling as well as your pain.

Lyrica works very well for Nerve Pain caused by injury or Diabetes. It will make you sleepy so it needs to taken with caution. Read about it and talk to a reputable Neurologist.

I can totally relate to how you feel. I tried drugs but nothing would work for me. It would help a little but nothing took it away. I found an all Natural Approach and researched the heck out of it and was glad I did. I was VERY skeptical at first, but now that my pain is gone, I am so Grateful for it.
My back pain is now gone and the freedom I have is amazing!! I would recommend you try it. For more info go to welovevia.com (need to see proof it is working for others, just go to viabenefits.com

That is a scary thought. I don't know with the type of pain you are having I would listen to the doctor.

How about massage therapy. There are massagers that you can use at home if you can not afford a massage therapist. It's too bad that physical therapy was not included in the treatment.

tegretol. I got it for nerv-pains (trigeminusneuralgi). It worked half the times. There´s also something called glycerol-injections. maby it would work. ask your doctor.

Detoxification:
Sweating is powerful way to cleanse your body from accumulated toxins.
examples:
- exercise with a lot of clothes
- Sauna
- drink warm tea in a hot room ...
- eat CAYENNE pepper! ...
It is known that some modern industrial toxins and pesticides can leave your body only through sweat glands!
2) Do Pranayam following sanskar channel(Baba Ramdev)
