I hope the Gabapentin resolves your pain. I read that turmeric may help neuropathy and can help numbness. I never tried it but my mom used it to relieve thigh pain. Doctor put her on 2,000 mg a day. I may buy some although I don't have much faith it will help numbness.
Good luck,
Jake

Just an FYI, I’m on a lot of medication, and Turmeric management ‘suggests’ you run it by your doctor BEFORE you start taking it.

That’s what I’ll do if I find out I’m ‘stuck’ on 99% BEFORE I start taking it.

Hi Jake @jakedduck1, I took turmeric along with my other supplements up until I had a DVT followed by a pulmonary embolism and started on blood thinners. It really did nothing for my numbness but I felt it was helping with inflammation. I had stopped it shortly after starting on the blood thinners when I read some medical information about not being good for you to take it if you are on blood thinners. I didn't talk to my cardiologist but am planning to ask her if it's OK to take with my low dose Eliquis.
