Hi, @magrose45, I realize that there is no cure for neuropathy at this time, but there are things one can do to help mitigate the symptoms. I have a pain pump which has not yet given me relief from my neuropathy, but for just one day about three weeks ago after giving myself a bolus(extra boost of medication via remote control), I suddenly had the most amazing experience. All the pain in my feet and all along the backs of both legs just disappeared! It was almost magical. I thought I had turned a corner. First time in two years I had gotten any relief. Then, the next day, all the pain returned. So, my pain doc is going to do a dye test to see if the problem can be identified. I guess what I am trying to say is that you have to be your own, best advocate. Just because some doc says there is nothing else that can be done, that may not be true. Keep searching, my friend. Good luck!
