I am on Vicoden and valium. Had one nerve block the next one is scheduled for next week. I still am in pain every day. I think I should talk to the dodctor about a medication for nerve pain. Any suggestions?

there are meds for nerve pain, neurontin and lyrica being the most popular I believe, but if the vicodin is not working, I am guessing the others will not work unless the vicodin dosage is very small

I had the same problem when this first occurred with me. The doctor put me on nortriptyline and tramodol. They have both helped tremendously. There are different medications you can try.

I am on 5mg of vicoden and 2 mg of valuim. Both are small dosages. They help somtimes others times I need more. The Nerve block that I had did nothing to realy help with the the pain just the consant burning I had became less of a problem.

5mg of vicodin and 2mg of valium are both super low dosages....most would consider those dosages non therapeutic I believe..anyway. good to hear from other participants here that there are effective alternatives, but you might want to try an increase in the dosages of your current meds

I have taken both, vicodin for unrelated pain some time ago, and valium for current condition..valium dosage for me is magnitudes higher than 2mg

if vicodin is increased, be careful with constipation...big side effect of that one

take care!!
