Hi worried, get a good pain doctor, and start with B12. I am alot better than a year ago, so this can get better. I was in a wheelchair for awhile, and now I am walking better. I do take medications for the PN when it gets bad. Also have lidocane patches, bio-freeze. There are also compounds that help with pain that have Ketamine in it. I have used all these things to help. I sure hope that you can get better too. ginnie
