There are all kinds of meds out there... It can be very confusing because we
are all "unique" in how we experience the pain that comes with TM. I have
tried a number of drugs; Cymbalta, lyrica, tegretol,
but I have gone back to Neurontin. I take 600mg. 3 times a day. My banding
is in my legs. I also have a great deal of numbness... makes it difficult to
walk. TM hit me from the waist down. I also take vitamins... calcium, fish
oil, B and coenzyme12 (?). When I travel, as I am now, I will take a
vicodin or percocet... especially for long hours in a plane or car.... I do
have awful leg cramping at times... and that seems so strange to me.... my
legs don't work that well, constant pain, yet I can still feel a cramp in my
calf??? Unless I'm looking at them I have a absolutely no idea where my feet
and legs are going.... Tho I have to say the warm Arizona weather seems
easier on my legs than the frigid cold of Northern Virginia...

The question is - What can be done about banding problems? Should I see
another doctor and get medication?

I take 600mg neurontin and 10mg baclofen 4 times daily for the banding and
needles and pins. I think a neuro should be open to letting you try
various meds to see if any one helps you.
