Suggest Treatment For Peripheral Neuropathy
Hello, last August I had a heat stroke or heat stress incident. I am STILL having problems with neuropathy in my hands and fingers.I am taking Lyrica and cannot function without it. Is there ANYTHING I can do to STOP the nerve pain? Thank you, Fred Jones.

Welcome at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern.
Neuropathy in hands and fingers not responding to Lyrica needs evauluation for the cause.
MRI cervical spine and NCS studies of affected side, fasting blood sugar, TSH.
I would like to advise you to change your medications to dulouxetine which is drug of choice in neuropathy. If there was still no response after 3 weeks then go for these investigations. Avoid excess of alcohol.
Hope it helps best.
