Dealing with Chronic Neuropathy Pain: Seeking Advice

I have been suffering from neuropathy pain for 7 years now. The pain is getting progressively worse. I was finally diagnosed with Poly-neuropathy recently. I have tried gap of penton for several years and lyrica for about 8 months. They are not helping. I have also tried every topical lotion you can think of and have not had any success yet. It is now affecting how long I can work which ultimately Impacts my income. Anything else?

@Nicole44 I'm sorry to hear of your pain. I don't know if this will help you, but I received some relief from: 1. What is your Gabapentin dose? Inquire if it can be increased. I think the high is 3600 mg per day. 2. You mentioned Topical Meds. Have you tried Voltaran now that it's available in over the counter strength. 3. Regarding Pain Management. I was struggling and not getting much relief from opioids. My pain Doc. Recommended switching to Suboxone. Better pain control less side effects. Best of Luck
