How Can Peripheral Neuropathy Be Treated?

Hi I have Neuropathy In my hands and mostly my feet also in my left thigh. Almost a year ago I had Sepsis and an abdural abcess on the base of my spine. Spinal surgery was done and turned out great. I had no feeling in my left leg for 10 days after surgery. I was then put on ahigh dose of antibotics thru a pic line everyday seven days a week for 11 weeks. Well now I seem to be going backwards (literly I fall back all the time) my Dr has me on 300mgs of Gabipention 3x aday, Cymabltia, and 3 10-325 Norco aday. I know I cant increse theGabipention because we have tried and it makes me loopy and too tired my email does not work can you reply back on here?I ll use another email. What would you persscribe for the constant stabbing pain My Dr doesnt know what to do now or wont???? Sorry for all the misspelled words Any help would be appreciated Thank you

Since you are already on a high dose of Gabapentin, and other medications, and still symptomatic regarding peripheral nuropathy, another accepted method for such intractable nuropathy is Anodyne Therapy. This therapy uses deep penetrating monochromatic infrared rays which helps in nerve regeneration and relief of symptoms. Each session is of 40 minutes and one has to take 12 to 14 continuous sessions for one course. Most patients do get appreciable relief of nuropathic discomfort.
