You have got diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic nerve pain may be controlled by medications such as tricyclic antidepressants, duloxetine (Cymbalta), or certain antiseizure medications.

Lidocaine and capsaicin are two topical agents that can help relieve nerve pain in many people. Keeping tight control of blood sugar levels is the best way to prevent diabetic neuropathy and other complications of diabetes.

I must congratulate for you survived heart attack with your confidence that was helped by medication. One must understand the disease starts physically and first information is with mind. So the treatment should start from mind Thereafter meet doctors who share their professional experience and medication started keeping confidence as the primary input. We take the help of coolies only when the luggage is heavy but not for mere fancy. There are good number of suggestions based on their individual experience but for expertise you need to take from medical professional.
