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?

well first of all you are Very correct there are many more health issues. Now I have what is call Commuity Care. President Trump when he was in office he approved it for us to get treatment outside of VA. Most of my treatment is with Baylor Scoot and White it is because of my New Neurologist she had a Nerve test performed, The test was so bed they came out with the results of Serve AXONAL Neuropathy. I have Cervical Damage, Neurofibroma, Nerve damage. All these are on the Left side.
I believe it all came from the Vaccine I received when in the Military Feb. 18, 1976 when the Swine Flu first came to America it hit Fort Dix New Jersey. The Governments use us Soldiers to for an Experimental Vaccine. I started having problems 3-4 weeks after the vaccine it first started with Digestive attack then my nerves and Muscles start.
These are from surgeries Shoulders problems, Right Hand problem. There isn't a part of my body that isn't having problems. The pain management doctor said the only choices I have is a Spinal stimulator or what I am taking now Gabapentin 3600MG, 1200 MG x3 daily
