Peripheral Neuropathy
Posted: Sep 28, 2012
My spinal stenosis has progressed to the point that I have severe peripheral neuropathy of both feet with accompanying pain. It can be very painful for me to operate the foot pedal, and just about impossible to have to keep tapping it for lousy dictators. My doc started me on 25 mg amitriptyline as it is known to reduce the nerve pain and it has actually helped. It also helps with being able to sleep through the night. Still, with the lousy dictators I'm in pain. Good dictators and the pain is not not that noticeable. Any suggestions to get further relief while using the foot pedal, other than refusing to do lousy dictators? Thanks;

Peripheral Neuropathy, My Hands.Sep 22, 2014
Hi guys, I have had peripheral neuropathy from diabetes for a number of years. Started in my hands to the point where I almost changed careers, but that went away and it started in my feet. About that time, I got to sign up as a test subject for Lyrica for PN, luckily I was one of the subjects that got the medicine right off. Noticed a change during the first few days. Love the stuff. Anyway, I have started to lose feeling in my hands altogether. It is starti ...

Neuropathy & No Med Ins.Jun 03, 2013
I have severe bilateral foot neuropathy which I believe is from spinal stenosis. A neurologist told me that is probably the cause on an ER visit (not related to neuropathy). My feet sometimes burn so badly in the evenings I have to dip socks in cold water, put them on my feet with a fan on them to cool the feet down, or put them on ice. The pain is sharp, stabbing, burning but only lasts a few second at a time, striking about once a minute. It is excruciating to have to transcr ...
Neuropathy And Elbow Problem?Jan 19, 2012
Hi! I was wondering if anybody out there has problems with neuropathy or elbow problems related to typing? My right elbow has been acting up for about 6 months now (lateral epicondyle area), but now my whole arm is aching with it. I have also been getting numbness and tingling in both hands, but also get it into my legs as well, and have some sciatica-type problems on the left side for the past 3-4 months. Could this be related to sitting and computer work (although I do ...
Diabetic Neuropathy Help ASAP Please?Jun 12, 2010
I am terrified...I have steroid-induced DM and have just been on insulin for about a week. Yesterday morning I woke up nearly paralyzed in pain from my knee area down. The pain was so intense at first I didn't even realize where it started from and had to figure it out. My feet, thighs, knees, calves, etc., was in the most twisting, squeezing, burning pain I've ever experienced. I took an OxyContin plus 2 Norcos and it still didn't subside for at least 2 h ...
