Hi Belinda, the great group here will be able to better help you/offer suggestions after you tell us more about yourself. What kinds of tests have you had done, kinds of doctors you have seen, even though you work, why pain relief is not an option, what type of vitamins/minerals do you take, and anything else you care to share. Read the stickys at the top of the page that contain information that is very useful.

Also, stress can add to the pain, so the less you can stop worrying about who "doesn't get it," the better it will help you. There will be more people along that are much more knowledgeable than I am. I only have PN in my feet and it has not seemed to progress further, but it can still very painful!
