Sorry to say it but they have all lied to us about “dead” nerves no longer causing pain. That was just a complete load of crap. I have had neuropathy (IPPN) for about 30 years at best guess. Neuropathy below the knee in both legs. Without Cymbalta & medical pot I would likely be in jail just for being a complete jerk. Medical pot (Indica) became necessary once neuropathy started attacking my autonomic nerves & the Gabapentin side effects latched onto those attacks & became horrible.
