Neuropathy pain management information?

I take it you don't have a primary care physician? If you do, i know in some states they can prescribe pain medicines and its cheaper to go there. Your only other choice is a pain management specialist. If you decide to go that route be prepared for urine drug tests, pill counts and monthly or bimonthly appointments. I have a wonderful pain management doctor and I don't mind all the requirements entailed, however it can be an expensive route! Because of the opioid epidemic those are the only doctors that can or will prescribe opioid pain medications. I also recommend you take all of your findings, reports and information on your condition with you, I know they like MRI'S etc.
There is a very effective cream you can purchase over the counter, its probably cheapest at Walmart. It is called Zostrix. A friend of mine used to use it and it worked wonders for her especially at bedtime. That was when you needed a prescription for it. I wish you the very best. God bless you!
