I am a newbie to this site and to neuropathy. A month ago or so I developed pain in my right inner ankle. After a week I developed neuropathy. The dr. Did all the testsand did not find anything significant. I was prescribed an inflammatory. It felt better after a couple weeks and I thought it was manageable. Then it got worse. An X-ray revealed deterioration of the ankle joint due to arthritis. I am back on anti inflammatory, but the pins and needles and burning are horrendous. I can't sleep. I have an appt with an ankle and foot dr in a couple weeks. I am using diabetic cream, bio freeze, and over counter pain relievers but nothing is giving me relief. I am at my wits end. Should I be going to neurologist in addition to foot dr. .? Sorry but I am new to all this. Any advice?
