Does anyone have neuropathy in their arm?

My neuroligist says the aching pain in my right arm is probably neuropathy.This was a month ago and I`ve been taking Neurontin 600 mg 3 times a day,Arthrotec 75 mg 2 times a day and Ultram ER 300mg 1 time a day and everyday my pain is getting worse.
Does anyone else have this problem? For how long? What helps with your pain? I`m a wreck because I can`t sleep or eat.
Please only helpful comments .
I just got over cancer surgery. I`m 57 years old.
They just did a CT and said the pain is not from previous cancer in my neck.

Yes, I have neuropathy in both hands/arms from nerve damage after years of carpal tunnel surgery. I'm surprised your doctor just diagnosed you with "neuropathy" (which just means you have a disease or abnormality of your nervous system, which is pretty darn vague) and sent you off with prescriptions for pain medication and nothing else. Did the doctor call it "idiopathic" (which means they don't know what the cause is)? If not, they ought to be finding out what is causing the neuropathy, as there may be other things that could help. Find a new doctor and keep trying -- you may also want to locate a pain specialist (your regular doctor can help you with this).

Acupuncture can also be very effective with nerve pain. It is also worth a try.
