Neuropathy has been my nasty sidekick for the past twelve years....it is in my feet and part of
my lower legs....tried ever thing from tens to blue laser ,,,,with no results...after a couple of
years of terrible times, my daughter recommend a combination of hydromorph contin and
jamp-pregabalin...it has reduced my neuropathy from a 8 out of 10 to a manageable 2.
I take 6mg hydromorph at 7am and 7pm,,,,200mg pregabalin at 12 noon and 9pm...

B12 mecobalamin injections may help.
How did your daughter know about this combination of drugs?

Hello Herbert @wynesshc, Welcome to Connect. It's good to hear that you are getting some relief with the pain medications. I've been dealing with neuropathy in my feet and legs since my early 50s and now at 81, I'm just happy I can still walk. I'm one of the fortunate ones with only numbness and some tingling and no real pain with my small fiber PN. I have also tried many different treatments to help with the numbness without much success. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.
