Thanks for your thoughtful response. I may try to look up this Pain Relieving Liniment Spray. My neuropathy has been amplified by my having a shin shave biopsy procedure. I believe the wound has not fully healed. The dermatologist who did this dismissed my pain when I went back for check up two weeks after the procedure. It is now 9 weeks later and I have pain in my shin. I do physical therapy. I saw a second dermatologist who wanted to give my a steroid injection but I refused it so she referred me to pain management where I was offered gabapentin or celebrex. What I wanted was some kind of imaging to see what is actually going on where the surgery took place. Perhaps there is nerve damage. My next doctor will be a physiatrist at NYU who helped me before. I don't understand why doctors will not do imaging. I get mammograms every year--had one today--everything is okay but why not do imaging if a wound has not totally healed and a person is in pain? What gives with our medical system? By the way, I am also taking ALA and Vitamins D, C and Zinc plus krill oil. It is sad that my neuropathy was so manageable but now I am in a different ballgame.
