What Causes Prolonged Pain On The Scalp And Back Despite Taking Gabapentin And Lyrica?
Hi, my wife is 54 years old. She has been suffering for the last 6 years from pinpoint sever pain sometimes on the skin of the head or on the back ( exactly same two points each time she has an attack). the pain is relieved by pressing via a finger on the point. Gabapentin, Lyrica, muscle relaxants, NSAID, etc did not help at all .. she just go asleep, please advise? Many thanks.
