Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hi John- Just found this group! I take 3300 mg gabapentin, cymbalta and have tramadol for pain that is really bad- I also take .75 mg clonopin ( spelling?) at night. I have small fiber bilateral idiopathic peripheral neuropathy in my feet - also went from stabbing pain in toes to mostly numbness and weird general feeling of fuzzies now creeping up to ankles and lower legs. Neurologist isn’t much help. I have PAD also and am not diabetic. Doesn’t seem like any of this is treated or understood! I wish there was a better clinic in Connecticut.
