Stricky,
Hi, Welcome to Neurotalk. You will meet a lot of great people here. So feel free to ask questions, rant, rave or just learn.
I am sorry you have PN, I feel there must be a cause. People usually don't just get it. Has far as your medications Gabepentin will help with nerve pain and so will a stimulator (tens unit) I am not sure about light therapy.
Here is the link to the PN site:

Good luck and stay well.

My lower inner leg musles have athrophied and my balance is off. I have leg braces but don't use them all the time nor my walker, only when I have to walk long distance. The only medication I take is sumatripatin for the migraines I get about 6 times a month (when I'm stressed or on my menstrual cycles). I'm a VA veteran and it seems that they haven't helped me much with this except provide me with the leg braces, walker and physical therapy (that didn't help much) and at first medications (gabapetin and tramadal), which I chose not to take at all now, except for the migraine relief medication.
I'm curious to know if gluten free diets help and also light therapy and tens kit therapy.
