@aggie98 Do you see a pain specialist, Karen? I began treatment with my PCP, but he referred me to a neurologist who had more treatment options. Then, I started seeing a pain specialist, and he had a long list of medications that are usually indicated for other conditions but sometimes help neuropathy pain. We've come to the end of his list, where we landed on Imipramine, and it helps a little, along with morphine sulfate contin. I still have days with pain up to 8 or 9.

I also had 6 sessions with a pain therapist and I found a couple of things that I use when the pain is keeping me awake.

Hi Jim, Ive been going to a pain doctor here for over 5 years when this PN first started . I was taking Tylenol 4 for years and it really helped. Then when the big Opiod Crisis was announced, this guy took ALL of his patients off pain meds. All he wants to do is epidural steroid injections which is not what I need. I live in a big college town and he’s the only one here. I felt really bad for a lot of older people who were in worse shape than me.
