He gave me Medrol Dosepak (Prednesone) to try for a few days. I asked about LDN for my pain and he said he doesnt use it. What are your thoughts. Should I just ask my Pain Management Doctor on Monday?

LDN helps your immune system function better - it's one of the ways the drug works. So the fact that they suspect that your neuropathy might have an immune/autoimmune cause, well then it I think it is reasonable to try something that might help your immune system work. Hopefully your pain doctor knows about LDN and will write you a script.
Also, are you supplementing with Vitamin D? Did you have your levels tested?
