This neuropathy pain is horrible. I am hoping we can find a solution for what is happening to my body. I am trying to get work done, but it has been hard. What does everyone else do to deal with pain?

I am sure you have seen a doctor. Your pain must be wicked, and I'm so sorry.

@star_disgate Exactly. No anything if you are nursing. I wonder if hot or cool compresses would help. I don't know much else to suggest.

Do you see a neurologist for this? There are reasons for pain. Some of mine is handled by heat, other by ice. A menu that contains mainly foods that treat inflammation might be good to try.

Mine is from a herniated disc. Right now the doctor is treating and then I will go to a pain specialist again. We have to take these steps first though due to my insurance.

@star_disgate It is so terrible that you must jump through hoops to have this addressed. But, many of us do know that an insurance company will do these things. Hope you can endure while waiting for real help.

@PatZAnthony Exactly! Last time I saw a pain specialist, they wanted a more permanent solution but the insurance company wanted me to do this and that. The pain specialist said those things wouldn't even help and would irritate the pain more. The insurance would only allow me to be on harsh pain killers.

Perhaps you can consult a Physiotherapist. I think they have some therapeutic treatments that will deal with neuropathy. What do you think?

@star_disgate I hope it will be approved. I am a Physiotherapist and I think they can help you with this condition.

The doctor is actually doing a referral for PT. My insurance has to approve it.

I have a friend with neuropathy and I've heard about the unrelenting pain. She has found a way to cope and seems to be functioning better now. I hope you find some relief.
