I got neuropathy after gastric bypass surgery, and my body literally cannot handle/process/absorb (don't know what the right word is) pills. Therefore, not only do none of the typical medicines for PN work for me (Lyrica, neurontin, amitriptyline, etc), but pain medicines don't even work at all (Tylenol with codeine 3 or 4 or Oxycodone). Luckily I was just put on the fentanyl patch--but the first one worked and the second and third have not. Frustrating... finally got a little bit of relief and now it's gone. If medicine truly is the only option for treatment, I'm a hopeless case.
