I have neuropathy in numerous areas, all pelvic, buttocks and upper front and back of thigh. For years…
Still working through potential causes- just finally diagnosed with ischial bursitis, both sides; having lower spine nerve ablation on 8/1; and seeing orthopedist 7/31 to go over results of left hip mri.
I am hoping that something can be found/fixed/or at least properly treated.
In the meantime, I am using diclofenac RX patches, pricey; look up good RX for best price, they work much better and longer than the gel. Also, using a tens unit when it gets really obnoxious. Another thing I have found, is a cream that is not RX, and can find online. Sombra. Has a bit of a burning sensation at first, but then just turns to warm. It feels so good, no drugs and can last for 3-4 hours. Wash your hands well after using!!!
Hope you find a way to cope! 🤞

Thanks! Wishing you luck with your follow-up and hope you’re able to find some answers and guidance. At the very least, for the bursitis pain, if it doesn’t calm down with anti-inflammatories, hopefully PT would help with that. I had/have this too, and it thankfully improved with PT, but wow bursitis pain can really burn.
