My name is Larry. I have been suffering with Nueropathy for 12 years. I do not have Diabetes so the cause has not been diagnosed. I have also had two unrelated spine fusions that has been diagnosed as fail back surgery syndrome.
I have been through all of the drugs that are normally used to treat the nueropathy, many of them several times. I have also tried physical therapy with no change to the muscle twitching, burning feet and just general numbness and pain. Absolutely nothing had helped enough that I could tell there was an improvement.
I would like to share something that was discovered while treating a condition I have found is sometimes triggered by chronic pain (depression). After I started showing signs of depression from the pain I was prescribed Venlafaxine 150mg per day for the depression symptoms. After one day of starting the medication I noticed a huge improvement in the burning in my feet. After three months of taking it the improvement continues. This is the only thing out of years of trying different medications that has had any effect on the problem. I am not recommend anyone start a depression medication that may not be listed for nueropathy treatment. I just wanted to say what has given me meaningful relief from the pain. Good luck with everyone's struggle with nueropathy.
