Alcohol-related Neuropathy: Anyone had good treatment results?

I have severe neuropathy in my feet and ankles. Started about 8 months ago and I am going to a pain management clinic. I tried a Neurologist and found him very dismissive and uncaring. My pain management Dr is great. I am on gabapentin as well as Cymbalta ( Duloxetine) which seems to help and has significantly brought down the pain level. Next up is a spinal stimulation procedure which we hope will block the pain sensation more. I would suggest you move on from your Neurologist and try a good pain management Dr.

I have experienced similar neuropathy issues for the last few years. Oxycodone takes intolerable feet pain down to a 5-6/10 level. However, it’s affects are diminishing and the pain clinic is recommending an implant spinal stimulation device.
I’m apprehensive about implant, and I saw your post about the same. If you pursued it I would sure appreciate you sharing your experience and recommendations, or not.
Thanks and regards from Atlanta, GA

Thank-you, I am open to try or see anyone willing to help me. I thought pain management would just give opioids, I haven't had much experience with them. I only took them after surgery, and learned that the itching from them was worse than the pain.
