Neurontin - No Relief
Cymbalta - No Relief
Lyrica - Minor Relief
Elavil - No Relief


As time has gone on things have actually become worse a burning feeling on my feet/legs/hands/arms and actually pretty much any where if something is rubbed up against it.

After seeing my neurologist and trying these medications he is rather sure that the Neuropathy is not caused by my diabetes. I am to have a Cervical MRI next week. He is hoping he can do something to lower my pain levels until I am able to see nerve disease specialist.

I am wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with these medications not helping and what they have done.

And any other input would be greatly appreciated.
