Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your discomfort on account of the pain.
There are good medications available to reduce the neuropathic pain that you are having.
Some options include pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. You would feel much better with them.
Please consult your neurologist for advice.
Wishing you good health,
