Hi woody147, Have you spoken with your neurologist. My neuro said there is no cure for PN but they can give medications for the pain. Have PN for two years and started with burning feet and bad electric shocks in my upper back. Have taken a lot of antidepressants which did not help. Taking 200mg of Lyrica a day, which is of no help. Also take 5mgs of Endocet (Percocet)when I can no longer tolerate the pain. I will ask for Elavel and see how this works for the pain and it supposedly helps you to sleep, which would be great. I am on the sleeping pill, Ambien, because pain in legs are worse at night. From burning feet and numbness in calves, and numbness also starting to get in fingers I wonder each day where else will it start. I am not diabetic and have itiopathic neuropathy. Keep in touch, better days are coming:):angel:;)
