Hi greetings of the day
are you experiencing any numbness in hands and legs
need detailed history for your ulcer consult me Lybrate for further assistance.

Hello,
it appears that that though you have been diagnosed with sensory axonal neuropathy, the cause has not been detected. Gabawin (pregabalin) is used for relieving the pain associated with the neuropathy, I do not know whether you are having pain or owhat are the other symptoms. So if you are not having pain arising from diseased nerves its not going to help. Neurobione is probably helping by repiar of nerves and should be ok. With thr details you have provided thats all I can say.
