Lyrica (from Pfizer)seems to work very well. Fewer side effects than neurontin.

Lidocaine will numb the area.But you need a prescription for it.

advil or tylenol is what i was recommended.  didn't completely relieve the pain, but it helped to ease it.

Aleve works good for my leg pain but i bet doans pills would be better for you.  I use extra strenght for back pain which i don't get that often anymore.  take two pills to start and another half an hour later.  by then even if you have pain you don't care.......

Alternate heat and cold therapy; take ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen; see your doctor for other options (short course of steroids, muscle relaxants, opiate analgesics, physical therapy).

I am going to a chriopractor and love him.  Check around and find one highly recommended.  I also have had two back surgeries. I take neurotin for the jumpy nerves in my legs and percocet for pain.  The pharmacist told me there is nothing formulated for fibro. pain, but this helps a little. I am a firm believer that your spine must be aligned.  It may not give you total relief ((nothing will) but it sure has helped me a lot and it is relatively cheap in the medical field.   Remember ask around and get one highly recommended, don't just pick one out of the phone book.  Good Luck two year sufferer

try an ice cube in the palm of your hand or massage palm of hand or arch of foot. Its known that the nerves path is the same in your hand and the ice "blocks" the pain path (so to speak) \nIts worked on toothaches.

Pain is my friend.  Ibuprofen for muscle pain, Vicoden for moderate acute pain, Percocet for severe acute pain, Oxycontin if you have to take so much that the APAP ( Tylenol ) in Vicoden or Percocet makes your ears ring.  Combinations of the above are also available.   You have to sign a contract to get Oxy.  Morphine works too but it plugs you up.

Abreva is a very good med you can buy at a drugstore. I've used it. It is best to start treatment when you get the tingle. Never put peroxide on it. I tried that once and it ended up being the bigest monster coldsore you could imagine!

Diabetic neuropathy is not curable.  Of course the primary med prescribed is neurontin.  However, it is often thought that over the counter vitamin b-12 and vitamin e benefit the nerves.  Wear good socks and shoes...check your feet often and keep them lotioned with any unscented lotion (just make sure alcohol is not in the first few ingredients listed as alcohol is a drying agent).  It's also a great idea to see a podiatrist for any nail cutting.  One small wound, cut or nik can cost you your foot as neuropathy consists of numbness and tingling of the foot and you could have a sore there but not feel it.  As far as exercises that help...haven't heard much out there that benefits neuropathy..but exercise in general is a good idea to promote blood circulation as circulation is decreased in diabetics.  Hope this has helped you somewhat.  Best wishes.

Tramadol seem sto be one of the drugs of choice.  There is also a med called toradol, or ketorolac, but it cannot be taken long term, only for a few days.\n\nI have attached some websites that should help.

The answers you have received thus far all have something to contribute. Exercise, relaxation, topical analgesics can all help alleviate pain. You may also want to look at the herb boswellia which has been shown in studies to relieve pain. My wife uses Shaklee's Pain Relief Complex (containing boswellia) with excellent results. The herb Cat's Claw is also good. As a preventative many people use glucosamine which builds cartilidge which can improve joint mobility, and thereby reduce pain.

Most sciatica pain responds well to self-measures.  You'll heal more quickly if you continue your usual activities but be sure to avoid the move that triggers the pain.  For pain relief, you'll have to see what works best for you.  NSAIDs such as aspirin, naproxen sodium and ibuprofen will alleviate both pain and inflammation.  Acetaminophen alleviates pain only.  But there's a limit as to how much pain these can control.  Make sure your doctor is aware of what you take, how much & how often and how effective it is.  For more severe pain that is unrelieved or inadequately relieved by NSAIDs or Tylenol, your doctor may want to prescribe an anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxer, a tricyclic antidepressant or an anticonvulsant.  You can also use the hot-cold method.  When the pain starts, apply ice packs or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel to the affected areas for 15-20 min. 4x a day.  After 48 hrs. apply heat (heating pad on the lowest setting, heat packs commercially sold or a heat lamp).  You can alternate hot and cold if necessary.\n\nGentle stretching for the lower back may relieve nerve root compression and make you feel better but try not to jerk or twist your back.\n\nProlonged rest will worsen your pain.  FYI:  Naprosyn (naproxen sodium) is available over-the-counter.   You don't need a prescription.  And Aleve IS naproxen.

Tylenol or Motrin.  A gel ice pack helps too. This type of pain is temporary and the results are worth it in the long run.
