John,

Had every test my doctors could try and finally when no specific reason was found for my numbness and nerve pain in both feet I was just diagnosed with Peripheral Neuropathy. Have been taking tramadol and gabapenten for a number of years. Can't remember when I started. Occasionally I switch off the gabapenten in favor of Lyrica when the efficacy of the gabapenten ebbs. After a month or two I switch back to the gabapenten which works well for a year or more. Then I switch to lyrica again. I have tried a medical marijuana salve but after a couple of years it is no longer as effective. I rarely resort to taking Vicodin to be able to sleep when the pain is bad at night. Looking for something that will work for me without starting to to regularly take a narcotic other than tramadol..
