Google a product call quentenza. Then find a local doctor that do this. Hope it helped.
Lyrica vs. gabapentin are usually the meds I prescribe for these types of symptoms.
Hi,


I am sorry to hear that you hear that you are having such a hard time with diabetic neuropathy. There are alternative nerve pain medications that would be more helpful than narcotics such as Lyrica or Neurontin. Pain management consult maybe an option for you as well.


I hope this helps.

Treatment plan is only effective if you have the proper diagnosis following appropriate vascular studies especially with symptoms you are describing
Pain management should be done by pain management specialist if no other treatment has been successful
YOU SHOULD SEE A PODIATRIST, THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN HELP YOU. THE EXTREME PROCEDURE WOULD BE SURGERY TO ELIMINATE YOUR YOUR PAIN, WHICH MIGHT BE YOUR ONLY SOLUTION!
Hello,

I would consider gabapentin. We use a gabapentin compound cream that works very, very well. In choosing through narcotics, Vicodin has the lowest amount of Tylenol, so it's safer than Percocet. OxyContin alone is low strength.
I would advise compression therapy like compression socks. Its very tough to answer without a physical exam but I would not advise getting on chronic narcotics.
