Welcome @stjohnsriverrat, Thanks for sharing your experience with PN. Looks like you have tried a lot of different treatments looking for more relief from the PN. Sounds like a familiar journey that many have been on here in the Neuropathy support group on Connect. It definitely helps to learn as much as you can about the condition and what treatments are available that might provide some relief. If you haven't tried the search function on Connect yet, it is really helpful for finding different discussions. Here's a search of Connect for "PN what helps" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.

You mentioned that your PN started July 2025. Have you been diagnosed with a specific cause for your PN?

@johnbishop I had to pay for my own MRI, but I have degenerative disk and narrowing at C5/6.

Don't get me started on the insurance company.

I am going to see a neurosurgeon soon, but I am 99.99999% against what I have researched as the next treatment steps.
