Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, last August I had a heat stroke or heat stress incident. I am STILL having problems with neuropathy in my hands and fingers.I am taking Lyrica and cannot function without it. Is there ANYTHING I can do to STOP the nerve pain? Thank you, Fred Jones.
Welcome at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern. Neuropathy in hands and fingers not responding to Lyrica needs evauluation for the cause. MRIcervical spine and NCS studies of affected side, fasting blood sugar, TSH. I would like to advise you to change your medications to dulouxetine which is drug of choice in neuropathy. If there was still no response after 3 weeks then go for these investigations. Avoid excess of alcohol. Hope it helps best. Don't forget to rate this answer and close the discussion at Healthcare Magic. Take your best care. Regards Dr Ejaz
