Hi peter, the only way I have found to deal with it, without being stoned all the time. I find in the morning the pain/burning is the least as the day goes the pain gets more severe. So I take 2 tramadohl in the morning and then 2 percocet at about 6pm. It seems to help if I can just get relief in the evening from the constant burn. Some days are better than others and some days I take an extra dose of tramadahl in the afternoon. I sure hope the pain won't last forever!!
