What type of treatment is there for neuropathy (left leg)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are a number: Of medications available. At the end of the day, it depends on what works best for the patient and if they can tolerate side effects. Some medications, such as lyrica, (pregabalin) are very expensive, thus, insurance companies prefer that we use the "cheaper" drugs first. What may work for some may not work for others.
