What is the medicine for nerve pain in hand after shoulder surgery?
Patient: What type of medicine can be prescribed for nerve pain in my hand after shoulder surgery and a nerve blocker? I had that pain pump nerve blocker. Surgery was just December 26. Whole arm slightly burns and a lot of burning and random sharp pain in my palm and thumb area. I cannot sleep (worse at night) and the pain med (norco) does not relieve pain Doctor: hi, nerve pains are treated by drugs like gabapentin or pregabalin. They should only be prescribed by the doctor, as they have certain side effects, and are specially reserved for some conditions only. Hope this helped.
