I just did a quick check on google for you, MS contin has a common side effect of constipation, but a rare side effect of diahrrea. Other drugs to treat phantom pain include nuerontin and tricyclic antidepressants. I don't have an amputation, but I do have nerve pain in my feet and the nuerontin, immiprimine combination work somewhat. Hope you get this under control.
Thanks for your reply. The MS is taken not just for my limb but also the swelling in my abdoman and other problems. I also use gabapentin which you mention. Until my last medical appiontment the MS was ruled out by 2 Dr as being the cause of the problem, so this is why I no longer now what to do next.
The use of the injections and ondansatron has however slowed things down but not solved the problem.
Thankyou.
There is another web site that a Doctor visits and answers questions. It is www.webmd.com
Seems to be an OK site. You need to address the post to the Dr directly to get an answer from him.
Good Luck, I hope he can help you find answers. I hope you feel better soon.
