peripheral neuropathy GONE!!Without pain meds!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Lizrox · 02-27-2008, 08:30 AM

I am in total disbelief. After 3 years of constant debilitating pain and numbness in my feet; It's gone; WITHOUT THE USE OF PAIN MEDS!!!

I saw a new pdoc; put me on Cymbalta, and Elavil. I can feel my feet; no more constant PAIN!! This was after 3 neurologists saying it may never get better.

He also thinks it might be fibromilalgia (I don't know). All I know is that I'm no longer in constant pain.

Hope everyone else is doing good!!

Good for you Liz. Nice to see you back. A few people have been asking after you.

Great!!! The one thing I always liked about medicine when I was a nurse, is that they would find new drugs or new uses for drugs that helped conditions that had no treatment. I remember several of my patients that had peripheral neuropathy and I can imagine how much pain you were in.

I'm glad to see you....been thinking about you!

Hugs and prayers!

That’s good news Liz. What’s going on with the Klonopin?
