It could be nerve root pain due to the type of cancer. Did they do a CT scan?
Pam
No CT scan. We might consider an MRI next.
We do think it is nerve pain/sensitivity before and after amputation.
1 week after the amputation he was placed on a 72 hour ketamine/fentynal/lidocaine CRI to reduce and/or eliminate the wind-up pain.
This helped for a week or so but now the pain is resurfacing.
We are going to try to increase the pregablin before taking next steps.
