Seeking Suggestions for Chronic Pain Relief

Hello, I kind of asked something similar in another post. I am not currently working and I am seeking something to help with chronic pain from neuropathy, arthritis, and sciatica. I use Gabapentin, Meloxicam, and my diabetes medication. It is not helping at all. So I just wanted some suggestions please and thank you in advance 😊

Are you going to a pain clinic? In addition to my other doctors and my neurologist I decided to go to a pain clinic and it helped out A LOT. I had my nerves burned which helped, I have other options for meds, and lidocaine patches. I also find that limiting sugar helps ease pain.

thank you, and yes I actually just started going to a pain clinic. I was supposed to get a cortisone shot, but my blood sugar levels weren't controlled. So I have to get them under control before getting the shot. I am trying to get my levels under control. I'm hoping when I do I can get this shot. I do need help managing my pain now. And medication just isn't doing it. So I am focusing like you said on my blood sugar as well.
