Yes I am better. There was a combination of things I have done, The vitamines were on top first. Then I use a compounded cream, Lidocane patches, and when it does get bad, I have a narcotics I can and do take. However I try very very hard not to take anything for pain. Tramadol is on hand too, but I don't think that works very well for PN. I don't have this condition as bad as alot of folks here. Only in my left foot, ankle and calf. I really had trouble walking last year, as I have degenerative joint disease in that same foot, with ganglion cysts, that have roots deep inside the ankle. Had two removed, and thats what started the PN. I now have two more, and they can't remove them for fear of making this PN worse. (or RSD)
I can't take lyrica, or Gaba. both tend to make me extremely depressed. I tried both of those several times and just couldn't do it.
I still limit the amount of walking I do, or I do get into some trouble with pain.
All in all much better than last year. Not sure what helped me the most. Sometimes I think taking less in the way of pain killers, lets your own body try to help. Wish I could put a finger on what worked best for me. I sure do wish you all the best, and that you get some relief. ginnie
