I had to go to a pain management specialist to get narcotic RX and it cost a bloody fortune for the visit, which they did not warn me of in advance. Klonopin helps for the acute burn, it can help make it a milder burn, but it does make you sleepy. I only take 1/2 a tab at a time.<br /><br />It is interesting you leveled out at about 7 months and your root canals stopped aching around the same time. Were the RC's on the same side as the injured nerve?Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759804883488167297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5267126802600758697.post-70547293153638908142010-05-28T00:40:32.006-04:002010-05-28T00:40:32.006-04:00It's curious how some are able to get meds to ...It's curious how some are able to get meds to help deal with this while others are not. A friend of mine who is couple of years in received absolutely nothing! One OS shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing he could give me. I did okay but I had to see a few first.<br /><br />Also wonder how the meds are chosen as they seem to be all over the map. I've heard good things about Klonopin. I wanted to try it at one time, does it help with the rug burn? <br /><br />You seem to be on the same healing paths as me. I had loads of ups and downs at 5 months. I leveled out at about 7 and continue to make small improvements.Kevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101434351762066348noreply@blogger.com
