I use ben-gay or sports cream to help with some of the pain. Do you have any suggestions on some other treatments we can do at home or something we can suggest to his doctor for the neuropothy. If you can respond to please do so.
Different people respond to different treatments for neuropathy.
First of all it is important not to keep taking ddI, d4T or ddC. Next, Neurontin and amitryptiline can both be increased gradually to their maximum dosages to provide relief. Some poeple with chronic pain respond to drugs for seizures, such as carbamazepine and Dilantin.
