Will Taking Tramadol Help Cure Neuropathy?

Hey, I need help with my shocking horrible neuropothy. I am on 100 mg of Lyrica 4 Xs a day, and I cannot sleep at night. How can I get some relief? My Doctor also prescribed tylenol with codeene. This worked for a few nights, but now it is back to the horrible shocks to my feet with no light at the end of the tunnel. Should I take some Tramadol I have on hand. I am about to crawl the walls!

HI, painful neuropathy is treated by pregabalin , antidepressants and antiepileptics.
trials have shown that tramodol has role in control of pain in diabetic neuropathy.
it can be used as first line as well as second line drug.
As your pain is not controlled with tab lyrica and tab acetaminophen so tramodol should be used .
It can be given in doses from 50 mg 1 BD to 100 mg QID.
Thanks
