I’m watching this in 2021 after developing neuropathic pain. It’s very helpful and somehow comforting to see how this pain is perceived in the body and what can be done about it. I’m expecting to be called in to the hospital soon to be tested and hopefully will soon know more about what can be done. Currently on Pregabalin, which is working so far. Thanks for a beautifully clear explanation!

Hello Dr. I am a 48 years old man suffering with Huntington's disease. Suffering in the real sense of the word. My whole left side of my body is in pain. Right side no pain. Sometimes less very often worse. Until now no doctor could say anything about how it works within my body. (We don't understand it, we can't find it) it must be between your ears. Until now. The famous Dutch brain scientist prof. Scherder wrote something about it in the Lancet. I contacted him and he is willing to help me. He says It's probably central neuropathic pain. I cried because nobody else took it serious. Central Neuropathic pain can be a living nightmare. Thank you for explaining how it works. It's common know in Parkinson's and MS. But the knowledge of central neuropathic pain in HD is often not there.

i have had a burning and needle like pain all around my body for 2 years and have developed anxiety from it. im scared to go outside or even be in heat because the pain is unbearable, its gotten worse and in scared that this isn’t treatable. i just want to live a normal life again. 😔

You are an incredible communicator - thank you! You helped me, so much.

Great work, muchly appreciated John.

You are amazing; I'm just sorry I cant tell you how much intellectual/medical support you've given to me and likely millions of others before, during and presently (2022). I've just been prescribed Nortriptyline (along w my old friend Gabapentin) for neuropathic pain at age 70. I was afraid to start a tri-cyclic, but listening to you, I will give it a try...the pain is chronic and disrupts everything in my life. Please take care of yourself, and just know you are loved in the best way by many. Thank you again.

Very informative! Thank you for making this!

your videos are very helpful. Thanks!

Amusing video and proper explanations. Thank you so much.

Thank you, this is great info for me after suffering a missed placed spinal block for my last csec, it’s been hellish pain ever since 5 years of it

I went into ketoacidosis coma for 3 weeks at the age of 15 years old, i had neuropathy in both my feet, i was prescribed to gabapentin and it didnt help at all. Neuropathy is the most painful physical pain ive ever felt in my whole life (now im 19) and my body actually healed my neuropathy through exercise. I had to learn how to walk again but i noticed that when i started walking more, the pain went away over time.its literally is the worst pain ever .

Thank you for the clear explanation. I've been reading "Understanding Pain" by Fernando Cervero and your lecture was great reinforcement of what I just read. I find the study of neuroscience so fascinating. I would love to be a student in one of your classes! Thanks for posting this.

this was really helpful. Thank you

Ive had nueropathic pain for nearly 20 years, and due to scar tissue in the site, its one of the more severe cases, but I've recently got medication free, still have pain, but still had pain on many of the mentioned medications. Ive also found a huge assistance using a TENS machine, although, of all my arm nerves, i have one that wasn't severed in the accident, and found different placement options, i assume, along this active nerve, really helps, as you need to feel the electrical stimulation shooting up the arm. Intense gym workouts, with both weights and cardio, and really pushing yourself to being drenched in sweat, is also great help at reducing the pain. Ive had SOME success with acupuncture too, although wasn't able to maintain the necessary frequency, as probably only provides a few days per treatment. Massive quality of life improvement by getting med free, i feel like my old self again, but also isnt easiest option, but hope this info can help someone on the journey!

Thanks Doctor !!!!

Very good 🎉

Thank you.

Nerve injury ( e.g iatrogenic malpractise) induced neuropathic pain is impossible to be treated with anything else than some form of neuromodulation ( either drg or dsc). Once the pain is centralised , it is game over.

Absolutely, have you tried amitriptyline or gabapentin?

I have been climbing up doses of gabapentin, duloxetine and amatryptaline. My doctors say just to keep increasing, and don't seem to see that this isn't a sustainable solution. Have severe M.E./C.F.S, every day is unbearable pain. I'm so scared by the pain. Have no where to go.

Dr put me on gabapentin and and I need physiotherapy for my pelvis because it’s not aligned and I can’t walk properly and am using the wrong muscles. I get bad lower back pain from walking a lot and walking down stairs is really painful and my legs shake. I have stairs in my house and really struggle some days. I really hope the gabapentin helps with my pain

Great information explained well. Thank you.

which is better for the treatment of anxiety and neuropathy of pregabalin or gabapentin. thank you very much, sir.

Terrible pain in the top of my foot and leg after breaking my femur near the knee in June 2023. Taking GABAPentin and extra strength Tylenol but still in pain. Very Frustrating a at times depressing.

My son had surgery for ACNES 2 years ago when he was 14. Now, for over 2 years the pain of the damaged nerves has been too much to handle. He cannot go to school anymore, no sports etc. It’s horrible. Gabapentine and amitriptyline don’t work. Is there ANY alternative? 😔

Hi Doc. I saw this video. it's great.. Based on this video - if we to rule out a local pain, we should use Capsaicin cream. it will give the best results on understanding if it's a local or spread pain, right? I would love to speak with you about it, if you are open for a chat..

What are some of the diseases/conditions if someone has severe pain responses when they have a UTI infection, for example, and they go catatonic.

Yes, there are several treatment options of people have pain or disproportionate pain. Have you watched my video on pin management? However, pain does not cause a catatonic response, this is a rare form of schizophrenia.

Good question, I think being itchy can, although Im not sure about the physiological basis.

I certainly accept what you said - definately not straight forward than some people make out to treat neuropathy at home. Be careful and get help from other people. I looked many websites and discovered plenty of expert advice by searching google on sites such as Gabs Neuro Guide. Good luck and hope you are successful!

I do not know if any one has tried fresh ginger taken by mouth for neuropathic pain but recently I started to. I was using external oil and ginger for years but started eating a half (heaping) teaspoon when my pain is unbearable and it works. My pain is the result of shingles over 6 years ago. I keep the fresh ground ginger in a small amount of Gin. Keeps for long periods in gin. You may want to try it. It is working for me.

Gabapentin works on Ca channels ant not on GABA
