Neuropathy

[livingwith]

I retired from the military in 2006 and 3 years prior to that is when my feet started burning going numb, and felt like pin pricks under my feet near my toes. The pain has progressively gotten worse over the years and I have been to 3 Neurologists with no end in sight. I have taken everything from Cymbalta, Lyrica, Carbitrol, Neuroton, Nortryptyline and a host of others. I have taken vitamins and magnesium as well.

Hi,
Except for the drugs you have tried, which I have not, I could have written the first paragraph (however, I wasn't in the military). My feet are exactly as you describe. I have had problems since 2006; no known cause for the neuropathy. Therefore, I can't really help you much, but just to let you know I suffer with the same thing. The night time pain is horrible.
I have been from Dr. to Dr. and none know what to do. I get disgusted with going round and round and getting no answers.

I hope you can find something to help you. If you do, please let us know.

I suffer from Neuropathy as well. I don't know what type I have but I am going to a neurosurgeon for a biopsy. The neurosurgeon will do a biopsy of my skin and nerves to see if I have a certain type. if so i can receive IV treatments to hopefully get rid of the neuropathy. The treatments might only relieve the neuropathy or maybe not help at all. You receive 5 IV treatments that cost between $20,000 to $30,000 a treatment. If anyone has information on this procedure please share with us your experience and any information you have.
Thanks,
Diane

I am currently in the military and I have the same thing you do I have not gone to get it checked out I just deal with it but my feet are very sensitive and I just get sudden pain in them... They are numb, burning, and hurt all the time no relief unless I take a pain pill or alcohol lol.... What should I do if you have had no luck and I have been wearing combat boots for 14yrs. Someone mentioned to me Fibromyalgia??? Please tell me what you think!
