Neuropathy pain in my left foot and lower left legs

?I have burning and tingling in my lower right leg. Have had 2 lumbar surgeries (fusions) that helped, but the problem has not gone away completely. I don't know if there is any remedy. I'm reluctant to take drugs (Lyrica, gabapentin). I did take gabapentin before my most recent surgery but it didn't really help. I'm planned to make an appointment with my neurosurgeon soon to see if anything more can be done.<br>

Hi Cheryl, your situation sounds identical to mine. I do take Gabapentin and it helps some along with topical cream. Johns Hopkins and UVA Charlottsville says it is something I have to live with. Some days are worst than others but I also exercise and do things to keep
My mind off the pain. Please keep in touch and I hope you can become pain free. Bob

?What kind of topical crea, do you use?<br><br>
