Hasn't your doctor offered anything to help you at least deal with the pain? I've seen several neurologists, and 2 neurosurgeons over the past ten years, and it's taken my regular doctor of over 25 years to be the only one to really offer up any kind of help.
I started taking gabapentin over 9 years ago, and while it doesn't stop the pain, and my GP told me it wouldn't, it helps to dull the pain. I don't remember what the dosage was when I first started taking it, but he's had to gradually increase it to the point that I'm taking 3600mg a day, and I'm still in pain from the neuropathy. He won't prescribe a higher dosage than that to anyone.
I can't imagine how bad it would be without it.

You need to go to your doctor and ask him/her for the help that you deserve. This condition is permanent and can't be cured, it's something that we have to tolerate, whether we like it or not.

I do take gabapentin but it really does nothing for me.
