3 months post PKR is it nerves?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi

I've had some intense sharp tingling just below and above knee cap. Is this nerves returning to life? I'm still pretty numb. It's similar to the tingling I get in my fingers when I've been using them too much

Any ideas how to treat it?

    it sounds like nerves firing up, I get it occasionally, but not enough to warrant taking anything. Nerve pain is difficult to control with painkillers. i believe gabapentin or amitryptilene (sp?) may be orescribed fir chronic cases, but not sure h0w successful it is,
