Hello friends.
I have been suffering terribly with neuropathy for over 6 months now and over the past few weeks the pain has become so severe I am taking regular prescribed morphine along with the gabapentin and amytriptaline which have absolutely no effect on relieving the pain or symptoms.
The pain is with me constantly and reduces me to tears regularly (that in itself is so depressing for an 18 stone ex county rugby player) and I get only 2-3 hours of unbroken sleep at night if I’m lucky. I’ve tried heat, cold, elevation, massage, acupuncture and pretty much everything else I can think of and get absolutely zero relief, and my GP says there is nothing more he can do for me.
Is there anyone who has any advice on what to do next please? I have read that TENS may be beneficial and wonder if anyone can help with that idea before I spend more money on things that won’t work?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Ian
