Hi there ~ I understand your concerns. I am sorry to hear that you have had so many surgeries. While it is difficult to deal with neuropathic pain, it is also not very easy to treat the condition and the medications that treat the kind of pain will have side effects like you have experienced. I hope you consult a doctor for alternative medication. In my practice, the medications other than pregabalin, that are used include gabapentin, duloxetine, etc. However this could also depend on the other medications that you are on and whether there would be medication interactions. I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
