God bless you my friend. I wish I had an answer for you I haven't gotten that far, my Gabapentin still works but my doctor tells me that there's a limit to it and that he will have to start using other medicines. I kind of been on that Merry-Go-Round before so it's a little bit scary but maybe with Lord's help that he's helped me in the past with medication. and they'll find something that will help or maybe Loma Linda if I can ever get to go out there they have a Loma Linda Medical neuropathy Clinic that that claims they've been had success with rejuvenating dead nerves and I have leg nerve pain and neuropathy in my feet. I also have degenerative disc and sciatica I don't have to use a cane or a walker like a friend of mine that has neuropathy but my feet are definitely getting worse and I can feel the leg nervepain more and it seems like that it's moving up my legs into my midsection. I pray and ask for prayer all the time and just ask the Lord to help me day by day and try to plan ahead

Our body problems are very similar. I had a fusion 9 years ago, which was a God-send, but as my doc told me at that time, above & below it will carry more and wear. Now it’s back arthritic degeneration, the neuropathy, extreme hammertoes(10), and more recently shoulder pain. A year ago, after a calderal (sp?) epidural steroid shot, I could barely walk. I think it damaged nerves. PT put me on a cane which helped. I’ve been in a more recent PT session and strength is returning to my legs & feet and a cane is not always needed.
Just said a prayer for people, especially children living in pain.
I’m having another spine surgery on April 19th. Have worked really hard to build strength for the best results. I have 2 pain specialist who say that caging 2 lumbar vertebrae is the next step and it should help with 1/2 of my pain. No cure for fibromyalgia or arthritis but I’m blessed to be cancer free.
I scheduled a consultation with neurosurgeon at Mayo Phoenix location but am reconsidering because Rochester has been rated #1 for so many years…any thoughts?

Also please pray for me that I can stop drinking coffee if they can't if the Lord is leading me that way and it seems to be that he is possibly I have read that caffeine aggravates the nurse as well as sugar and salt from the American diabetic Association one person told me it did another person told me it didn't that they didn't have any information on that also Calgary neuropathy Association had told me that the caffeine sugar and salt were three of other substances that cause aggravation to the nerves and neuropathy and would increase the pain I don't know my doctor told me it was okay to drink a little coffee I've asked other people at pharmacist at CVS told me that he had an addiction with coffee that he was working on and that coffee was in the top five addictive drugs
