Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy
Neuropathy | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (1096)Comment receiving replies
I have idiopathic pn. The only other thing my Neurologist could find on blood tests is very low B12, unsure why. So I take B12 injection every month now and gabapentin daily.
Has anyone ever tried TENS therapy for their PN? I initially tried it at PT and bought a unit for myself.
It helps with pain signals. I use it on my back as well.

Continue with B12 but definitely stop Gabapentin which will not help you at all. Unfortunately doctors suggest it but it does nothing for your pn. It is for epilepsy it is off label drug.Research findings found it was no more effective in treating pn than a placbo,itcould harmful effects later.

Please do not take Gabapentin,it will make your symptoms worst.I have done multiple hours on this drug and it is not used for pn .It is an off label drug meaning it is for epilepsy . Pfizer made 2.27 million dollars sales on it and research said was no more effective than a placbo.it will cause other bad effects later.
