Medications that can help with severe nerve pain in the legs and arms include anticonvulsants, such as gabapentin or pregabalin, and certain antidepressants, such as amitriptyline or duloxetine.

It is essential to use it only under a doctor’s supervision, as it is not a standard painkiller and has specific dosing and side effects.
