8 years ago I was diagnosed as diabetic and concurrent with that there surfaced a numbness in my feet. Since then my feet have never pained me but I am always aware of the numbness which increases and decreases from time to time throughout the day. My blood sugar is fairly well maintained at this time but I am concerned that sometime in the future my feet will get worse and I will have to undergo some sort of treatment which might cause me to be a cripple the rest of my life!

Does anyone have a ?

diease call progressive motor/sensory peripheral neuropathy and what do you do for treatment to control pain?
Taking 2400 mg of neurontin daily 2 pain pills I hve had it for 8 years I got it right after a triple bypass I currently have a double nerve stimulator in one for the arms one for the legs but no help yet my surgar runs around 75 to 80 I am not diabetic, I seen a neurolgist for 3 years all the testing he called it idotpathic and said good luck he had done all he could do, pain clinic done the nerve stimulator thanks for any help seems like nothing works

I have had neuropathy for at least 8 years and the pain appears to be getting more difficult to control. The pain is primarily in my feet and lower legs. I take Lyrica twice a day but have all of the side effects associated with this product. I need help desperately but don't know where to find it. My neurologist has ordered a neuropathy profile on me and has tried several different kinds of medicines, all of which have been totally innefective. Any ideas?
