Hi, yes I was diagnose with idiopathic neuropothy about 8 yrs ago. The neurologist wanted to put me on, of course Gabapentin, I refused. I went to see another neurologist and he said the same thing, Gabapentin. I refused and he told me there was nothing else he could do for me. That was about 5 yrs ago. This year I decided to find out on my own why do I have neuropothy. I have had a complete MRI, brain, lumbar, thoracic and cervical. Neurosurgeon said nothing abnormal that would be causing PN. So back to square one with what is causing this. Myb podiatrist wants to do epidural nerve blocks in feet, he said MAYBE it will help. Going to get another bopinion on that, I am scared of needles. I did have an epidural nerve block in spine, I guess it helped with the constant burning thighs. This was a year ago and burning is back, I am seeing him again next week. Maybe I am foolish, but I try everything that I see on this blog and others. I do have the Life Pro vibration platform, that you stand on, it has a handle, that God, because my balance is bad. I also boughty the red light slippers, I use them once a day for 20 minutes. Are they helping?? TBD (probably not) I do believe massages help in a big way, but not for long. Tried Accupuncture, nothing, maybe I wasnt patient enough. I now rub my feet and inner thighs with cryo derm and rub magnilife foot cream on feet and magnilife leg cream on legs at bedtime. This self pampering is not something I ever enjoyed however with age comes ALOT more maintainance. Again, I wish you luck, I know that stabbing pain in thighs is the worse, to the point I am almost afraid to fall asleep. If you get answers, please keep me posted. I am in the process of searching for a new neuropothist, nobody specializeds in PN, which is what we need. UGH Good Luck
