I am Med free. I refused Gabapentin because two of my friends were taking it ( for different reasons) They were both experiencing side effects. Groggy, etc. I am limited as to what I can take while at work because our drug policy is so strict- so many medications you cannot take while on duty.
Occasionally I will take 800 mg Ibprofen
I’ve noticed that several people on this site have co-morbidities. This Dx I have for neuropathy is the ONLY medical problem I have. concentrated on ball of foot and toes. At night I have noticed the burning is worse. Finding shoes is a huge problem because my feet are narrow and arches high
I am going to a facility nearby where I live but I’m apprehensive because of what I’ve read about chiropractic offices wanting you to spend $$
I’m really dissatisfied that I wasn’t able to get relief with the Srambler therapy. The RN who did the treatment told me people walk in the door with pain and after a few treatments were improved. All my appointments were in the morning and I was fine, afterwards I’d walk 4 miles and of course after that here comes the tingling, burning and numbness.
I asked her if she thought we should have reversed the treatment doing my appointments in the late afternoon AFTER activity- She was like “ sorry, I don’t know”. When I failed to get the results it was like she lost any interest in my case and took it personal ( that I didn’t get a good result)
I went out on a big limb to go there and I realize it wasn’t a guarantee but I was shocked that she didn’t have any knowledge of alternative resources available. On my last visit she told me that there is a massage technique that their PT does on the cancer patients- She gave me the link ( it’s on U-tube) Of course she sent it via MyChart where I can’t open it so I’ll have to hunt it down. I have an excellent PT here and she can do that or I can teach myself -
Just extremely frustrated not being able to lock down a solution.
