I have severe pain with neuropathy and neuralgia. It has put me in a wheelchair. My medications are vast , large amounts of longtec, pre gablin, diazepam, quinine, ramapril, simvastatins, aspirin, diloxatine, I cannot have cbd oil my longtec affects it. I have started to lose feeling in my feet and at times the inside of my shins. My neuropathy travels all over my body, feet, legs, hips, groin, arms and hands.

Where can you get biofreeze? I have tried Lyrica and gabapentin. They don't do much but make me gain weight. I need help.

My neuropathy is in both hands and feet. So much stabbing, burning pain. Most days I can't take it. Any ideas of different medications I could take? I can't take this pain anymore

I have so many things wrong with me that's hard to recall them all. But recently I have been tagged as Fubromyalgia and Chronic pain. I have suffered Neuropathy for many years but last year it became unbearable after chemotherapy and radiation. Gabapentin helped some but I never could take it very long as the side effects for me were intolerable. I also took Tramadol at night to turn off the burning in the feet. Now I am seeing a Pain dr and she put me on Butrans patch, switched me to Lyrica and I have one percocet a day for back up pain and a muscle relaxer.
The Lyrica has been surprising! But I know if it is increased more I will have daytime sleepuness and blurry vision. The Buteans I am still not sure about. It takes too long to work and stops working too soon and that one percocet is not enough.
I was also taking NSAIDS for inflammation but my primary care physician said stop because my kudney values are up. So there went some of my pain relief out of the window.
I got an SIJ injection about 2 and a half months ago and that was wonderful for about 6 weeks then my pain level shot up. Will be getting another at the end of this month. Soon to have a hip replacement and hoping that removes some of my pain. Also going to discuss LDN treatment with pain Dr and endocrinologist because all though I was only recently diagnosed with Fibro and Chronic FTigue I have suffered half my life.
I also use diclifenic gel and biofreeze professional gel and tgey do gelp temporarily to block pain. Overall I am still fatigued but now I sleep off and on during the day which wrecks my night time sleep.
interested to read what everyone else does snd if it actually helps! Curious to know why you don't take the CBD oil all the time? Or the Tramafol when you go out?

I have neuropathy down my right leg from severe back issues. I've had 4 surgeries thus far. I can't walk far at all, maybe 20 ft, before the stabbing, clenching pain comes, down my left thigh, which goes down to my mid calf. After a few minutes, the numbness starts, especially around my knee. My PCP has me on Pregablin twice a day and Cymbalta at night. And, Tylenol or Ibuprofen as needed, usually twice a day. I use a walker/Rollator or cane to get around. I also have Major Depressive Disorder, stemming mostly from my dealing with this pain all the time. I sound like a cry-baby, but honestly, it's frickin' hard!

Response to painful neuropathy or feet. I am extremely fortunate. Diagnosed late in adulthood as type II at about 55. Shocked as I didn't primary relatives with diabetes, except an uncle. Possibly mom who passed at 48. Also fortunate my professional endeavors were military medical. Medic, Nurse, P.A. and even E.M. T. Too sensitive to pain meds so avoid. Mom and Dad both alcoholics and my professional position frowned both on excessive alcohol and any rec drug use. 2

I feel for you cause I know your pain. I live on painkillers and hoping to get a nerve stimulator put in my back. I work on my feet all day so it's getting harder to do my job. Might be time to quit

@Colleen3399 Hey! I wanted to say hello. You and my Mom share the same name. I agree, no one and I mean no one understands the pain! My doctors and nurses are terrific. However, until they can walk in my shoes, they will never understand my pain. The drugs help to some degree. But, I notice that the more I take the painkillers the less the effects! I am willing to try anything!

Anyone out there that has awful pain with Neuropathy? I have shooting pain,numbness and tingling in my feet! Mostly my toes and the balls of both feet are affected. I take tramadol and Morin for the pain at home,but if I'm going out,I take C.B.D.oil and a vicodin before leaving! I also use C.B.D.cream or Bio-freeze for relief at night.
