After diagnosis, do you continue to see your neurologist?

I also have neuropathy in both legs but much worse in my right leg. I have tried all the oral medications with no relieve. I had a SCS placed in 2020 for chronic pain in my lower and upper back. No relieve from the chronic pain and the SCS did not help my neuropathy. My pain specialist is doing an ankle nerve block this week. Hopefully this will help.

Hi rwilson53,

Can you let us know how you make out with the nerve block in your ankle?

I have PN in both legs. I don't have much pain due to success with gabapentin.

However, I do have severe pain in my left ankle which I believe is caused by the combination of sciatica and PN. I am trying to get my neurologist or back ortho to consider trying a nerve block in my ankle. So far they are reluctant.

If you find some relief with the nerve block I may try going directly to a pain specialist to see if they may agree to try it.

Thanks in advance, and, I hope the shot works for you!
