Hello Mike @mikeoc, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for the private message. I thought I would answer your questions here in this discussion Eliminating Foods for Neuropathy pain so that you can meet other members that share your symptoms and are asking similar questions. I’m sorry that your doctors seem to be dismissive. Two main items that I’ve learned are not helpful for any neuropathy are sugar and alcohol. I’ve given up alcohol and try really hard to limit the amount of sugar I take in.,,but I do have my days. Your other question is tramadol any help and your concern that it is addictive. I’m not able to answer that question but I would like to tag @artscaping and @jimhd and bring them into the conversation to see if they have some suggestions or information for you. If you click the VIEW & REPLY button at the bottom of this email message it will take you to the discussion that I’m hoping will provide you some answers.

Have you talked with your doctor about the dosage and times of the day you take your medication to see if a small change might help?
