If you are past the point where over the counter pain relievers no longer work, you should talk to your doctor
There are two "non-opioid" prescription options - Lyrica (pregabalin) and Neurontin (gabapentin) are the two most widely used to relieve the discomfort of diabetic neuropathy (relieve the discomfort but don't "fix" anything)
But it may also be time to start bugging your doctor for a referral to a vascular specialist - they may be able to help significantly delay a worsening of the condition - this option can improve the condition and maybe roll it back a bit
To relieve neuropathy in your feet, consider the following strategies:
- Pain Relief: Commonly prescribed medications include:
- Tricyclic antidepressants
- Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
- Gamma-aminobutyric acid analogs
- Opioids and topical creams may also be added if needed
