Hello; I am new here and have been dealing with Neuropathy pain for several years. I go to a rheumatologist and take several medications but still get very little relief. Any tips from others would be appreciated.

I do also see a neurologist. Just saw him last week. He sympathized with my pain but did not offer any new suggestions. Said to come back in 6 months and he would check me again. I am on Cymbalta twice a day, methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis, Orencia IV once a month, vicodin as needed, which I only take at bedtime. My hands and feet are painful most of the time with little relief from meds. I seem to get small relief with ibuprofen.

The one thing I would say is that I think you should see a neurologist instead of a rheumatologist, or in addition to. Would you mind telling me what medications you're taking now?
