Also,
the medication Lyrica is good for nerve pain,
diabetic and otherwise. I take it, and while I still limp a lot from my feet, which comes from nerve damage in the spine, it makes the pain stop when I do take it. It sort of makes a person dizzy, so I only take it when I'm home for several hours at a stretch, with my feet up, of course. That drug is expensive, unless you have insurance, in which the co-pay is even pretty costly, about $50 per month.
