Post op nerve damage/pain anyone?

I am on a Quest to find relief. My doctor said all the pain I am experiencing is nerve damage and that it could last 6 weeks. I can't deal with this for 6 weeks. I think I will go crazy. It is only day 5 and I am getting a bit depressed. There is so much I want to do but I can't.

Has anyone experienced it? Extreme burning pain that feels like you are being stabbed with a red hot knife? I feel it when I am in any position except laying on my right side. I feel it when I sit, stand, use my arms, or anything except laying on my right side...and there is a sitting position I can get into.

What did you do to help it? Did anything work? How long did this last?

I was given pain Patches that don't seem to have helped much but there was not much else that could be done. Heating pads did not work either.

Good to hear! I was thinking about you all day yesterday and hoping you were getting some relief.

Thanks sweetie. Every day is a slow improvement but I will take what I can get. My little one asks me every day if my stitch is better so we can go to the park. I sure hope this is over my Monday so I can go to work. Also, I have a ton of family flying in for a visit in 2 weeks and my house is such a mess. Anyone want to come over and clean for me?

Yes I had it in one leg and one arm and it is miserable. It lasted probably about 4 weeks and then gradually went away.
