Hi
My name is Genie.
I have Neueopathy in my feet & legs. I am on 900 mg of Gabapentin & 60 mg of Cymbalta. I keep increasing it & it just doesn't help.
I am at the point where I am pretty much homebound bc it is hard to walk for long periods of time.
I also have abdominal adhesions that I have from past endometriosis surgeries.
The pain is unbearable & I don't know what to do.
Any suggestions?

Hi Genie @tigreyes2004, I'm sorry to hear you are in so much pain from your neuropathy. Have you looked into any of the alternative treatments or complementary therapies to see if they might help? You can find more information here: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Also, I'm wondering if you've seen the discussion on member neuropathy journey stories and read what various members have shared that helped them. Here is the discussion:

Hoping that you find some relief.
