Members shared a variety of non-medication approaches for relieving neuropathy pain, burning, and tingling in hands and feet, with popular suggestions including Outback pain relief roll-on oil (available on Amazon), TENS machines for nerve stimulation, ice water soaks for short intervals, and chiropractic care for related nerve issues like carpal tunnel and sciatica. Several members found relief through medications like gabapentin, Lyrica, and surprisingly Benadryl (an antihistamine) taken at night, while others mentioned nerve blocks as a newer treatment option they were trying. A recurring theme was the trial-and-error nature of finding what works, with members encouraging persistence, sharing practical remedies from natural oils to homeopathic options at pharmacies, and offering solidarity around the daily challenge of managing nerve pain.

I tried gabapentin, but it didn't work plus had side effects and was just prescribed Lyrica (I know they r both in the same class of drugs). Has anyone tried and had success with Lyrica?
