Peripheral neuropathic pain, sometimes unbearable
Posted , 18 users are following.
Hello,
I suffer from increasing nerve pain, started from the big toes in both
feet, then during 5 years spread unto lower legs and even started
in the hands now. It is the "tight sock" feeling constantly plus
needle feeling and electric shocks sometimes.
Only Tramol plus Gaba gives some relief, but i maxed out on this
medications.
Can anybody recommend other drugs or supplements ?
Thank you, Chris

Hi, Gabbapentin is the cheaper version of Pregablin. I have tried all drugs
Good and bad, to help ease the pain I am now on 300mls a day of Pregablin
And it is v the nearest I have to little pain from my Diabetic Perifthial Neuropathy.
One thing I will add is a enjoy a pint a couple of times a week, but the night after these
Drinking sessions the pain is unbearable.After a few days off the beer I get the relief back
From the Pregablin.
I am seriously looking at my socialising although I enjoy a pint, I think
I prefer my toes.
Don't be frightened to ask for different medications your heath, you stand up and after a week or two
And the medication hasn't worked go back and ask for alternatives.
I would also recommend getting on a pain management course.
Take care
Dan

Have you tried acupuncture? I've had peripheral neuropathy in my lower legs and feet for more than five years. The feeling is of numbness in my feet plus tingling and, sometimes, fire on the inside while cold on the outside. I take Lyrica 300 mg 3x day and it helps but I started doing acupuncture a couple of years ago and, along with Chinese herbs specifically for neuropathy, I have had the best results from it. Beats drugs even though I still have to take some. Good luck!
