@kansasgal did you receive any help from the Pain Management Clinic? Are you able to share a little more about the pain you have and your neuropathy diagnosis?

Hello John, thank you for your reply. I received NO help from the pain clinic, they told me to ask my neurologist about Lyrica. I told them I had already done that, and Neurologist told me since I was already on 2 different nerve pain medications that we should not throw another one into the mix. It was a total waste of my time and money to go to a pain clinic. My latest symptom is heart palpitations, about 1 per minute. Anyone else experience this while on gabipenten or duloxetine or having to quit Norco 5 cold turkey? Also my BP is extremely high, even with BP meds 2x a day, Neurologist said it is due to the pain, but I was given no idea to ease the pain. I only get out of the house to grocery shop or go to doctor, since it hurts to walk.
