is my cat in pain??

For a while, I've been really worried that my cat is in pain I've been wishing I could undo it ever since I found out how bad it is, but we had my cat declawed when we first got her, about six or seven years ago. We didn't know, it was our first time owning a cat and my mom has Hepatitis B and she was undergoing treatment for liver cancer and taking blood thinners while already being anemic so we were really scared that if my cat scratched my mom by accident, my mom could get really hurt . We know different now, but now I really worry that my kitty is still hurting

She runs around and plays and jumps on stuff just normal, but she's been very nippy ever since then. She bites and hisses when people go to put her in her room (she's not allowed to run around the house at night), I think she feels cornered and threatened when that happens. She bites anyone if they touch her paws which makes me think they probably hurt, but I don't know what to do. I wish I could take it back, but there's nothing I can do anymore but learn from that, and I wanna help my sweet fluffy baby Is my assessment that she's in pain probably correct, and how can I help her???

I believe you can get declared repair surgery which can mitigate some of the damage http://www.msvets.com/Pages/DeclawRepair.html

I read about that, but we're poor and my mom is on disability, which barely pays enough to take care of our basics. We can barely get our own healthcare taken care of with our state insurance, much less cat care, and we had to charge the last vet bill to take care of two infected teeth she had to our credit card

I do understand. Unfortunately, I don't have a great deal of knowledge on this subject - declawing is illegal over her and I'd never heard of it until recently. Hopefully somebody else will have some ideas to help her.

your cat may need something for neuropathic pain -- like gabapentin (Neurontin)
