I would be grateful for any advice from anyone who has 'been there' with pain medication for neuropathy.
I have just started to experience pain, after years of reduced sensation.
5.30 this morning I was woken by repeated electric shock like pains in my foot, about 3 per minute for 4 hours, just enough time to make monkey noises and swear before the next one. :shock: then settling somewhat. They are still happening.
A Trainee GP has prescribed a short course of night time amitriptyline - thus increasing the dose from 20-40g temporarily.
A lump, might be a blister, has appeared on the spot, the skin is very sore.
