@sarah_irwin , managing pain is a subject in its own right. It's a question of finding the medication that works for you, and at what dose. I know that Gabapentin is safe to take up to ridiculous levels. Perhaps, the higher level will work for you, or you may need to go higher. Pregabelen (Lyrica) is an alternative. Some find it preferable to Gabapentin, but Doctors like to push Gabapentin first. Distraction is another tactic. Neuropathic pain is worse when we have nothing else to "interest" us, e.g. when lying in bed trying to sleep. But, through the day, we can do other things to take our mind of it. I would suggest revisiting the gym again. Just go on a "gently, gently" basis, starting slowly and building up over time. Hope this helps.

Thank you thats very helpful...i will think about it maybe earlier in the week. At the moment im just very exhausted 😣 The gabapentin is also adding to my tiredness and i feel woozy ...i suppose thats normal x
