What about those of us who have idiopathic neuropathy? Are there other treatments for that?
No MD has ever said I have neuropathy (peripheral). When I talked to my internist about how going barefoot doesn't feel good, she explained that the fat in your soles leaves and so I don't have "cushions" anymore and that it is not uncommon with older people. That's the extent of dialogue I've had with an MD about my symptoms. If I want to talk more with a doctor about what I have, is there any particular type of MD e.g. neurologist, that would seem appropriate? Perhaps it was at Mayo that I recently read that you can get injections of fat in your feet to feel better there. Know anything about that?
Thank you for your comments and helpful websites. I agree wholeheartedly with you. I think I need to get serious about this, as you’re suggesting. I’ve always needed a nudge to get me pointed in the right direction. Again, many thanks, John
