Unbearable Pain Post Chemotherapy. Suffered From Harry Cell, Cauda Equina Syndrome. Any Suggestions For Pain Management?
Dr. Grief...First let me give you a quick background. My name is Anton, I am a 42 m. Was first diagnosed with Harry Cell in July of 2010. Was hospitalized for 27 days. Developed two tumors in L4 L5 area back surgery in Nov 2010 resulting in Cauda Equina Syndrome. Back in the hospital again May of 2012 for another 17 days for Chemo, etc. I previously was a very good athlete at high levels and have dealt with many different types of pain. The pain that I endure now on a daily basis is nearly unbearable. I'm currently working with a pain management specialist to come up with some sort of solution without much success. Any suggestions?

If you have not tried the opiod pain killers like Tramadol, you can try it.and if you already have taken with failure then you should go for nerve block.
