Welcome to Neuro Talk. I hope that all of us can give a little input. Mrs. D is correct, Lidoderm patches do work, and so do some of the compounds that have five or more medications in them. This lotion works fairly well too. Have you been seen by a good pain specialist who knows about PN in particular? I see a physiatrist, who happened to specialize in pain first but treats the whole person. Over the course of a year or more, my PN is better. I do take suppliments, B12 being the most important. There is always hope that PN can get better.
This site will be here for you with many who have this. We lean on each other for support. Take care, and again welcome to Neuro talk. ginnie
