Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I've had peripheral neuropathy in my feet for 10 years. I take gabapetin 3 times a day and I take Hydrocodone 3 times a day for pain. The combination of these drugs is the only way I can deal with the pain. I have been looking for information on stem cell treatment for neuropathy but I haven't seen anything in the US. I have seen some treatments in China and Mexico. Any information on stem cell treatment for neuropathy would be greatly appreciated. I believe it's coming but it can't get here soon enough.

Do you know what the cause is for your neuropathy? Could be diabetes, autoimmune, chemo etc. Mine is autoimmune so I've tried a couple of DMARDs with no luck. Might try one more and then IVIG.

BEWARE OF ANY STEM CELL CLAIMS! A LADY I KNEW SEVERAL YEARS AGO SPENT ABOUT A YEAR IN THE TIJUANA AREA OF MEXICO WHERE SHE SPENT AT LEAST $10,000 FOR STEM CELL OPERATIONS FOR HEART AND LATER HER ARTHRITIC KNEES. ALL $$ DOWN THE TOILET!! LATER SHE WENT TO UTAH FOR OTHER QUACKS.

I take the same as you but I take 2 600mg gabapentin at a time. I use only 1 Hydrocodin at night. I was finding 3 Hydrocodin a day was making me forget more than a 72 yo. I put a regular pain cream on my feet at night like Lidocaine, Bengay or Aleve. I was using a Australian made cream but too expensive $31. I still have. some pain I know this won't go away and there is no cure so after reading that B6 B12 can help I will ask my doctor to test my levels before I start taking it.
