prescribed gabapentine, duoloxine, celexob, and hydromorphone and doesnt help with pain non stop, specialists cant figure out, anyone else have this or know of someone who does too

@starbright375 A tens unit helps neuropathy in my foot. I had a knee replacement many years ago, and the doctor completely cut a nerve leading to my foot. I've had the needles feeling in my foot every since. After about 15 years, I thought of my tens unit and tried it. What a relief for about 4 nights. Now I use it about once a week. I've read if you have heart issues, you shouldn't use near your heart. I do have heart issues, but my foot is not near my heart, so I decided to use it. That info came from AI.

I have found that only Norco can help me out some. It makes me a little loopy..so I can’t get much done when on it.
Tried physical therapy, acupuncture and nerve stimulation over several months and nothing has helped much.
Neuropathic pain in left leg adds to the discomfort. Probably coming from S1 which has been fused already.
I can’t believe the pain I can have. Thinking about a spinal stimulator?

I have AML (acute myeloid leukemia) for 2 years and received chemo every 6 weeks up until Dec 2025. I’ve had constant leg pain since starting Chemo in 2024. I attributed it to the AML. But 1 month after last Chemo, the leg pain became unbearable. An ultrasound for DVT (deep vein thrombosis) found numerous blood clots. The pain was unbearable but I didn’t have any of the usual signs (red, hot lumps). I’m now taking Eliquis, a blood thinner. My most recent DVT scan showed only 1 area still a slight clot. Perhaps you could ask for this scan just to rule out blood clots. Best wishes to you for quick healing.

I have constant pain in my right butt. Medication hasn't helped me. I understand how you feel. Praying and hoping something works. God bless you
