Maria, I think my pain med (Opana-ER = oxymorphone) also helps my nerve pain. I had been having nerve pain that went from my right hip into my thigh for the longest time, and even neurontin only helped a little. But after my discogram caused me lots of extra pain, nerve pain at that (in my knee, calf and feet), my doctor increased the Opana-ER. Since then, I haven't had the pain in my hip or thigh. I do still have some tingling and slight numbness in both heels, and my right calf and knee feel a little numb, but it's not nearly as bad as the other pain had been.
