Neuropathy Pain at Night: What helps?

I will keep this short and sweet the ONLY thing that helps me at night and during the day for that matter is good old oxycodone!! Unfortunately when I moved to Georgia from Arizona 5 years ago I lost my Dr. for 20 years. When I got to this godforsaken state. I found out quick that every PCP in Georgia was afraid of prescribing any thing that was a NARCOTIC. So everybody is has to find a “pain specialist”. I’ve been on the same dose for 3 years, I guess they never heard of or understand the meaning of tolerance!! I get 10% of what I received in Arizona. To bad the CDC and the FDA stuck there nose in where it didn’t belong. They already admitted they were wrong on trying to limit opioid prescriptions, but nothing is being done. I’m 67 I don’t want to live like this in pain morning to night. So if you find a good Dr. good luck. If I sound bitter that’s because I am!!

A very knowledgeable Pharmacist recommended Hydromorphone Compound cream many years ago. I put a little on my wrists, yes the wrists, and I don't have the awful neuropathy pain as soon as I went to bed. He explained that we have dermatomes for different areas of our body so there is where the compound is placed. He also made a combination for my L5-L4 pain that took it away. I had to rub it into the area where you would receive a shot in the backside. Didn't believe it at first but after one good recommendation I believed him on a second. Thankfully my providers over the years agreed to continue them. Compounding pharmacies are different from the regular ones as they concentrate on just compounds. At first mine did both but when it caught on they went to compound only.
You’re right I’m having the same problem. Canibas does help me sleep.

Try THC gummy’s at night. Also Kratom helped me a ton when my poor Dr stopped my fentanyl cold Turkey after 5 year on it. Same reason you had. One of my doctors recommended Kratom for pain. Now that I’ve tried it, I will never be off it because more of the time you won’t need narcotics. Give it a try.
