Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help
Neuropathy | Last Active: Apr 28 3:43pm | Replies (200)Comment receiving replies
John- I just read your link and I do have all of the probable causes or underlying conditions but thats all I have been told. They dont know which is causing my Neuropathy and so they treat each probable cause separately i.e. Im given vitamin prescriptions and my diabetes is controlled but theres just not an answer for how this can be and Im not satisfied without an answer for the pain that im in with my feet.

@t21 - I have no medical background or training but from all of the research and reading I have done there is unfortunately no real cure for neuropathy. The only exception I can think of is when you have a pinched, compressed or damaged nerve that can be fixed with surgery or possibly therapy. The best we can hope for is a treatment or therapy that helps relieve the symptoms. I can't say that I blame you for not being satisfied not having an answer to the pain in your feet. The best thing we can do to help ourselves is to learn as much as we can about our condition and possible options to relieve the symptoms. Here are a few other discussions that might offer you some relief from the pain and burning.
-- @artscaping and others have found relief with Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR). There is a discussion on MFR here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/
-- @rwinney and others have found relief with the Mayo Pain Rehabilitation Program - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-pain-rehabilitation-program/
-- Myself and others have found some relief taking supplements - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/have-you-tried-the-new-protocol-525-product-for-neuropathy-relief/
My 2 best sites for learning more about neuropathy:
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview
-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
You also mentioned you have diabetes and that it is under control. There have been a lot of studies about reversing diabetes with diet that you might find interesting. Here's YouTube video you might find helpful.
"Jay Wortman, MD, tells the story of how he reversed his type 2 diabetes, using a simple dietary change. Ten years later he is still free from the disease and needs no medication. He just stopped eating the foods that turn to sugar in the body." -- How to reverse type 2 diabetes: https://youtu.be/zjUdtK6ukqY
Hope you can update us after you meet with your pain management doctor.
