How can I cure/help neuropathic pain?

Some neuropathic pain studies suggest the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Aleve or Motrin, may ease pain. Some people may require a stronger painkiller, such as those containing morphine. Anticonvulsant and antidepressant drugs seem to work in some cases. \n\nIf another condition, such as diabetes, is involved, better management of that disorder may alleviate the pain. \n\nIn cases that are difficult to treat, a pain specialist may use invasive or implantable device therapies to effectively manage the pain. Electrical stimulation of the nerves involved in neuropathic pain generation may significantly control the pain symptoms.\n\nUnfortunately, neuropathic pain often responds poorly to standard pain treatments and occasionally may get worse instead of better over time. For some people, it can lead to serious disability.

Actually in part.....GOOD DEEP SWEDISH MASSAGE really helps, I know, I massage from time to time am from Hawaii...we were taught to do this at home, to walk on backs and give a VERY amazing foot massage. Neuropathy burns, so soaking and elevating the feet, avoiding salt and sodium filled foods will help. If you're a diabetic, which my mother was, it REALLY helped. being the eldest of nine, someone was usually prepared and it was all so natural. I am blonde w/ blue eyes and I live in the USA however, I cannot stand it her. Hawaii doesn't consider itself a part of it. neither do i. Reflexology is limited to this although in combination w/ sacro occiptal techniques of chiropratic medicinand accupuncture......it can be of assistance....Thank You!!!!!!!!

For symptom relief use ice (cryotherapy).  You can purchase an icepack for this purpose at any drug store.  Or, you can use a large bag of frozen vegetables (peas or corn work well).  \n\nPlace the icepack in a thin pillow case cover and then place it on the area of pain (you can lie on it on a bed if that is comfortable).  Keep the ice on for 20 minutes, followed by one hour without ice.  You need an hour 'ice free' to allow for return of healing blood flow and to prevent frost bite ('freezer burn').  If you are applying the icepack correctly, you will go through several stages, including burning, aching, pins and needles and then analgesia/numbness.\n\n\nPlease note, this therapy, while very helpful, does not treat the CAUSE of the pain.  You really should seek professional care by getting a proper spinal evaluation from your family Chiropractor.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

My question to you is why is your neurologist not addressing your pain issues? It is great to want to use natural remedies, but (and I have tried many) the oil you wish to use is basically for muscular pain, same with cayenne and such as mentioned by other poster. These things may aggravate pain caused by MS. One thing that is natural that may help the most is accupuncture, though please be certain that the person doing it is qualified.\n There are many pain medications that your neuro can use to treat your pain. Please speak with him/her. There is no reason to suffer needlessly. You may have to try several things till you find something that works. I myself am on morphine after trying many many other drugs for pain. And even this does not take the pain away completely, but at least some days I can do more than just sit at my computer. I certainly wish you the best and hope that you will speak with your neurologist. Take care of yourself.

Replacement therapy.  Start an exercise program (join a gym or walk together daily).  Try the patch and nicotene gum, and hypnotism.  All of those together should do the trick!  Good luck!  :)

The only way i know..is to go to the dentist. Tell them you are in terrible pain and they will probably work you in. Till then a little ora gel may help some.

I would not limit yourself to homeopathic approaches.  I would look for a doctor with a holistic approach to treating patients.  These could be medical doctors, Chiropractors, osteopaths, or naturopaths.  There are many approaches, depending on lab tests and physical examination findings, that can help to support the neurological tissues.  Look for a company on the web called Standard Process.  They have high quality whole-food vitamin products and they are only sell them through doctors.  You should be able to find a doctor in your area who utilizes their products be contacting the company.

Treatment for ulnar neuropathy would aim at decreasing local inflammation that may be causing the problem.  This would include modalities to the area to include electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, and heat packs.  Massage over the entrapment site could be useful as well.  Once the inflammation starts to decrease, exercises for the forearm and wrist musculature will be needed.  Of course, most cases of peripheral neuropathies are secondary to trauma or repetitive actions.  If yours is due to repetitive actions, you need to be instructed on proper mechanics/ergonomics.  Also, ulnar neuropathy could be secondary to diabetes.  If this is the case, control of the diabetes is the best attack.

Be honest ask for other options.  Be willing to try a multi facited approach to pain.  Meds are only part of the long term solution.  A second opinion might be uselful

I'm not a doctor and the best way to overcome your problem is to consult your doctor.\n\nAnyway, individual with diabetes will develop certain complications. Numbness, tingling sensation, diminished sensation, followed by complete lost of sensation of hands and feet are some of them. This is known as diabetic neuropathy. The nerves of the hands and feet are dying. This is an irreversible process but its progress can be slowed by strict control of blood sugar.\n\nIf you are diagnosed with this complication, you MUST take care your hands and feet. Keep them clean. Wear good shoes and gloves. Check for injury daily. This is because you cant feel pain when you injured your hands or feet. If not, the wound can become more and more severe and ultimately, amputation is the only cure.\n\nConsult your doctor if you have any doubt or problem. Don't waste time finding answer on-line. Get help from the expert.

For some, meds can help.  See a neurosurgeon, NOT a neurologist.  \n\nI suffered from TN for 4 years and some 15 doctors before it was properly diagnosed by a neurosurgeon. No meds worked for me, it was CONSTANT SEVERE PAIN 24/7. I had the surgery developed by Dr. Peter Jannetta who also trains nerosurgeons across the country on this technique, and it was the best thing to do. 100% pain-free instantly! That was 2 years ago and I'm still thankful every day for having the surgery.\n\nContact a neurosurgeon or even Dr. Jannetta's office to find a neurosurgeon he has trained that practices in your area.\n\nContact me if you want more info.

Ask a phamacist.  There are pain-relieving products made for this purpose.   Orajel  or Anbesol might help you.   Or take an aspirin or tylenol (whatever you would take for a headache)  That will help also.
