Joshua, I went through more pain drugs, tens unit, patches and who knows what else and nothing really worked. Officially my PN is idiopathic but my docs think it may be due to toxins although they can't prove it (long story there). My pain doc finally put me on Kadian which is a timed released morphine. They started with 10mg twice a day and when we got up to 80mg twice a day which was about a year later I told him to get me off the stuff. I really didn't think it was working but when the dose was first decreased to wean me off the drugs the pain hit like I never felt it before. I still wanted off and am finally on my last dose this month. I don't do anything for the pain now. One reason is I lost my insurance due to a divorce this month but Medicare kicks in 1 Feb. So we'll see what happens then.
Although I didn't like it Kadian was the only drug that worked for me.
Good luck to you.
