After years of pain in my body back, knee, feet, neck and hands I was diagnosed in September with a Severe case of neuropathy. it as even gotten to my Facial muscles. for the last couple years I started feeling a Vibration in my body thinking my Massager in my recliner was bad I unplugged the recliner realizing that was not it plugged it back in. My Neurologist increased my Gabapentin to 1200MG 3 times daily. makes me a little light headed but it has taken care of the Vibration but I do feel the the Tinging. I have had injection for my Knee pain, Hand pain, and back pain all has failed.
My question is because of my Neuropathy could this be why all the injection for pain reliver failed to ease my pain. NO I do not plan on going back for more. I do not take Pain Medication. I am a Disabled Veteran no support from my VA.

Hello @duaneh23, Welcome to Connect. It sounds like you may have additional health conditions other than neuropathy also causing you some pain. I'm sorry to hear that you are not getting support from the VA. It's good to learn as much as you can about neuropathy and what treatments may be helpful. If you haven't already seen it, the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a lot of good information on their site - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Is all of your healthcare done through a local VA Hospital or are you able to seek help at a teaching hospital or major health facility?
