Neuropathy started during a gout spell

Hello @hcuo, Welcome to Connect. Congratulations on being 92 and still lifting weights and running on the treadmill. You give me hope at 77. I think we are all waiting for that gifted medical scientist to find the cure. Not looking very good for either of us but I also believe exercise of some sort is key to improving health along with eating healthy and keeping mentally active. I've had gout a couple of times and it was treated with Colchicine but it never lasted more than a week for me. You may also be interested in reading some of the posts in the following discussion.

Here is a video you might find helpful.


Have you made any changes to your diet or added any supplements to help with the neuropathy?

Hello. I just found this discussion, so I apologize if this has been discussed. I had a liver transplant nearly six months ago. It is going well but I suffer from nearly debilitating tremors, muscle pain, numbness in my right leg, occasional nerve pain in my foot and leg, joint pain in knees and hands. Most likely due to Tacrolimus. My liver doctor wants me to see a neurologist for neuropathy. So, I’ve been doing lots of research on it. I’m wondering if others have gone through this as I’m curious as to what to expect and perhaps questions to ask a neurologist. This is so new to me and increasingly worrisome. I do not drink, do not eat refined sugar, no diabetes (yet anyway), and walk and exercise regularly.
