I am shocked that no one can think of a dr who has been helpful to them. Is it against the rules?

I can testify that, in the 3 states in which I lived, not one doctor could come up with ANY solution to ease my pain, although one in particular worked her heart out trying.

@user* I've been thinking about no one being able to think of a dr who has been helpful to them - and - there must be so many kinds of PN, so many causes, there must be equally as many treatments, and to find the one that works for a particular individual might be like looking for the proverbial needle in haystack? or, perhaps as many have said - there is no treatment!!! You do have to be your own advocate - keep looking, trying new things, sharing what you have learned and what others have learned.

@user_ch98d0b5c, I don't believe it's against the rules to name a doctor who has helped you in some way. I am thinking it's more along the line of what @barbarn is suggesting. There are so many types of PN and no one treatment works for everyone. That said if I found a doctor that "fixed" the numbness in my PN I would certainly give them the credit. I have found supplements that help but they do not cure PN and they may or may not work for everyone.

So I would just like to add, keep asking questions and sharing what you find if something works for you. We are all on this journey together.

My neurologist prescribed 20 mg. of nortriptyline. I have sensory neuropathy, i.e., burning of lower legs and feet. It has relieved my pain 95%. I am thrilled.
The doctor said "Fantastic!! When it works it works........
