Hi, I am trying to help my sister who has been suffering terrible pain with this for 3WKS with no let up.

she has tried several types of meds but nothing seems to be working. We were wondering if anyone else out there has any tips or magic cure. Would be very grateful for any views on this! Thanking you in advance.

    There are no magic cures for neuralgia. Ask to see a pain specialist. I have neuralgia in both arms and hands. For me heat is the best treatment and in warm weather I have no flare ups. Sometimes painkillers help. However, everyone is different so it is trial and error to find what works for you.
