Thank You. I will ask, but doubt my "Rsferral" Doctor says he will not prescribe pain medicine
I'm looking for a doctor closer to my home. There is one that prescribes Medical Marijuana but not sure I want to go there.

As I said. I only have Arthritic pain which I learned to live with for over 10 years with Advil and rub on creams such as Biofreeze.

This is a seizure medicine, not for pain, but can be helpful with neuropathy pain. It’s just not as commonly used as the others.

I know someone using Medical M an they say it's great for there Neuropathy because it fights Inflammation

Hi,
I felt I HAD to put in a vote for Medical Marijuana.
I have had this nasty PN disease for over 30 years. Believe me when I say I tried EVERYTHING.
One of my Doctors heard me talk about my foot pain, (he is my HAND Doctor) and gave me a referral to a doctor who prescribes Medical Marijuana. It was the best thing that ever happened to me & cut the pain by 1/3...and...I do not want to get HIGH even a tiny bit!! and I do NOT! I cannot do THC to sleep..it works in reverse on me!!! (I know that is odd) Depends on your level of pain if you try CBD or not. it's not sold everywhere and it is pricey!! I live in PA, so we have a few Dispensaries here.
Best of luck in whatever you do!!

Gabapentin is an anti inflammatory medication but it help me with pain in my legs and feet sometimes I take as little pain killers as possible because they are addictive and over time you. Stronger doses to help so I don’t take them unless I’m in extreme pain never have
