Hello @charlenebarnes, Welcome to Connect. So sorry to hear that you are experiencing neuropathy pain along with other inflammation type pains. Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy or started any treatments to see if they help?

I have it and PA has given me medicine for pain and burning sensation; 5 mg per day of prednisone and Pregabalin 50mg before bed. Gentle exercise daily.
Tylenol as needed. So far it’s working well. Good luck with your health issues. Take care.

Have been dealing with it for many years (I am now 80). My best fix: Gabapentin at 3000 mg daily spread throughout the day (with 1800 of it an hour before bedtime) and go to bed with flight socks covered with thick wool sock. Endure some pain during waking hours when you can occupy your mind with various amusements, and get some sleep at night. best wishes!

@nattleu I had neuralgia
between jaw and upper rt teeth. Took 25 micrograms B12 ,METHYLCOBALAMIN
daily. Fixed the terrible pain. You are just on pain killers. Take B12 as well. Low B12 allows all nerves to loose some insulating fat, myelin. Then pain. Check on the internet.Alcohol subtracts b12.Good luck.
Good luck.
