No doubt, dude,,, about half of us have the same thing. There are medications that help,,, a bit,,, but it always ends up being partly attitude, too.

Neurotin or it's generic, Gabapentin is what I take,,, Lyrica, for which there isn't a generic, yet,, are the two main ones. Some doctors will prescribe companion meds to enhance the effectiveness of the first two.

What ever is prescribed, there is still going to be some discomfort,,, unless they get you completely stoned with opiates or the like,,, but it usually ends up being a compromise between pain and conciousness.

If you find that you can tolerate the discomfort more when your mind or hands are busy, then you understand what I'm saying. The pills take the sharp edges off the pain,, then it's up to us.

I know where you're coming from, my friend,, just hang in there,, it gets better.
