I have peripheral neuropathy I didn't know what it was for a long time. Numbness and tingling and burning in my feet and legs and arms and now my upper back. Getting hard to use them. They put me on gabapentin and Percocet for pain. I also do B12 injections at home. I was sent to do a nerve study and I amazed the doctor. I was sent to a specialist who then done a DNA test came back that I have Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with missing pmp22 gene along with Peripheral Neuropathy. I've tried all the supplements and creams nothing works for me. I have a nerve stimulator put in my back and I recently have had a pain pump put in my spine it's starting to really help it's getting better each time they increase it with is about every 2 weeks.
So what I am saying is maybe everyone needs more testing to see if maybe there maybe something else going on. This disease is no fun and it's rare with no cure. God bless all

That's very interesting.Thank you for the information. I have lumbar stenosis Which causes spasms and?
Twitching in my calf muscles. Does that sound like peripheral neuropathy ? The surgeon doesn't seem to know. So what's the best type of doctor to go to the diagnosis and what To stop twitching and spasms.
