Laura, I want to extend a warm welcome to you. Everyone here knows plenty about neuropathy generally and pain specifically. First I must say that you are way over my pay grade for giving out help, I care for my wife who suffers peripheral neuropathy (PN) pain in her feet. It sounds like your pain is primarily in your digestive areas? How did you find out it is PN related? Did you get a diagnosis. What were your multiple surgeries for exactly?

Maybe you could start at the beginning and tell your story from there, how it all started, your dealings with doctors, what medicines have you taken previously, who you have in your life for support. Lay it all out from the start up until now. Then people here will have a better picture of what you are dealing with and will be able to give their 2 cents worth to you. Some of the advice I seen given out here has been nothing short of incredible and right on.

I am very sorry for the agony you are in right now. I hope you receive help. Best to you, Hank

Well Laura, I am just about to go out the door to get my car emissions checked by the state. This is when I notice you have already posted quite a bit about yourself before, which I would have read through at least somewhat before my previous reply if I'd thought to look. It still might not hurt for you to summarize your entire story, it often makes it easier to big-picture a person that way. In any case Laura, I'll check back later to see what you might post as well as look through your old posts. Hank

@jesfactsmon Hank, if your wife's neuropathy pain is only in her feet and legs, you and she might want to take a look at the possibility of getting a peripheral nerve stimulator installed. Read about the SPR Peripheral Nerve Stimulator (SPRINT) and the Bioness StimRouter. Could give her some pain relief.
