There are lots of things your doctor can try for nerve pain, including some types of anti-epileptics and antidepressants (the central nervous system is a weird and wonderful thing). If you can't tolerate the medicine you have been given, go back and ask for something different, or see a different doctor

There are many types of painkillers. If the ones the doctor is prescribing don't suit you, say so and ask for another type.

There are specific treatment options to reduce the symptoms of the various types of neuralgia or nerve pain. To relieve the symptoms of postherpetic neuralgia, topical pain relievers, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and antidepressants are used. Usually antiseizure drugs are prescribed to minimize the pain of postherpetic, trigeminal and glossopharyngeal neuralagias. Trigeminal neuralgia may be numbed with radio frequency waves, gamma rays or glycerol injections if the patient does not respond to drug treatment. Surgery may also be required if neuralgia is caused by a tumor or artery compressing the nerve. In addition, alternative therapies that include B-complex vitamins, a diet high in protein, carbohydrates and fats as well as acupuncture have also been successful in the treatment of neuralgia. Natural treatments are very effective for treating neuralgia and nerve damage, such as herbal and homeopathic remedies and tissue salts. These remedies are not only safe and gentle to use, but also supports general well-being and improve overall health. Tissue salts help to maintain cellular health in the organs and nervous systems of the body. Herbal ingredients such as Zanthoxylum clava herculisis (Toothache Tree) and Matricaria recutita (German Chamomile) contain anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the nervous system while at the same time relieve pain. Other beneficial herbs include Arctium lappa (Burdock) and Harpagophytum procumbens (Devil's Claw) which are excellent for treating arthritis, lumbago, rheumatism, fibrositis, sciatica and small joint disease.
