Guide To Effectively Treating Neurofibromatosis

Pain Medication

Pain medication becomes important when treating schwannomatosis, the rarest form of neurofibromatosis. With schwannomatosis, patients most commonly experience chronic pain, which can affect any portion of the body. There are cases where pain exists even if no tumors are present in the area. Pain ranges from mild to more severe. Doctors may recommend a variety of medications to help patients manage their pain. Some medications can help with pain in the nerves. There are also antidepressant medications that can manage both serotonin imbalances and nerve pain. Depending on the presentation of symptoms, some patients may even benefit from epilepsy medications. Managing pain can be difficult, but it's very possible. It's important to talk to a medical professional who's experienced with managing pain associated with schwannomatosis.
