Jim have you tried cannabis yet since I didn’t see it mentioned? After much experimenting I’m now using CBD tincture 100mg 4x day with 25mg THC tincture 4x day with nice results. I no longer require breakthrough pain meds. Cannabis alone didn’t cut it though.

It wasn't enough relief for me. I am now wondering if one has a pump, and should at some stage require surgery, would the pump and the morphine interfere with anything?

I did make some cannabutter, and with that some fudge, but regardless how chocolate the fudge was, I could still taste the cannabis. I haven't tried CBD products, primarily because of the cost. Medicare hasn't progressed yet to covering it.

My baseline pain level is normally 5, but wearing two walking boots, it's 7+. Every few days I take them off for a couple of hours in bed to give my feet a break and wash them and put lotion on them. I did that this afternoon and the pain was down to 3 or 4 after an hour. Tonight it's back up to 8.

Neuropathy pain is a bear to treat, and there's no cure. My granddaughter who's in the 4th grade plans to be a research biologist. I should suggest to her that finding a definitive treatment for neuropathy would make her famous, very rich, and adored by millions.
