Have overall pain with a lot of pain in shoulder, arm, elbow, wrist and hand. Taking 1800 mg per day. It dulls the pain but does not take it away completely.

I have the dibetic nuropathy really bad. This drug does help better than anything else I have been give. But I stil have severe pain in my legs and feet. I am wondering if there is something better for me to take to really get rid of this horrible pain. I cannot sleep at night because of the pain.
