My neuropathy is in my feet and legs..so I have been there crying hysterically tired of the endless days and nights of pain and no break from it..it is enough to drive one crazy.
On the nights of the burning believe it or not I use Icy Hot and my husband massages my feet with the cream over and over again..then the burning sensation goes away.

I take gabapentin (generic neurontin) and vitamin B and now loratab after visiting a pain management center. My neurologist would not prescribe a narcotic for pain so I went else where. The break I get thanks to the loratab makes it bearable for me and I am in a better mood when I am pain free. My attitude is better and I am not as depressed. Now how long I will be on the loratab I dont know but right now it works and I take one tablet every 6 hours.

I do believe there are certain triggers that will make your neuropathy flare up for me it is my blood sugars high..lack of vitamin b in my system
