My husband is taking Pregablin 150 mg twice daily for neuropathy. It has helped with the foot neuropathy but he has severe hand neuropathy with numbness, tingling, & severe pain, mostly at night. He also has a very weak hand grip & cannot pick up anything small. He has tried both heating gloves & ice gloves. His neurologist tried him on a couple of anti-seizure drugs which are also used for neurology pain but the side effects were too intense for him to continue.
I don't see too much info on the hand neuropathy. I did purchase for him a hand, fork, & spoon adaptive equipment which has helped him with dining.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We do believe the severe hand neuropathy started after he was started on OFEV medication for his rare lung condition, pulmonary fibrosis, caused by asbestos.
