Many people suffering from neuropathy often turn to opioids for pain management. There are two lessons to be learned.

1. Find a treatment option that actually heals nerve damage. Don't just mask the pain--otherwise symptoms and pain will escalate to a point where you become desperate for relief, resorting to dangerous medications.

Of course, the second lesson is that all medications have serious side effects, especially opioids.
