Possible cause of some neuropathies?
Neuropathy | Last Active: May 2, 2022 | Replies (3)Comment receiving replies
My neurologist just told me she believed that spinal stenosis of L4-L5 was also causing intense back pain and legs pain. I am 62 and also, by punch biopsies, have small fiber neuropathy in left foot spreading up leg and feels like right leg and foot too.
No treatment was recommended except starting Cymbalta. Only been on a few days. Hoping for relief.
You are not alone.

In response to Lorlmt, I had spinal fusion in Nov. 2121. i have post op neuropthy in both legs. My doctor tells me the only thing that works is intense physcial theropthy. I was an inpatient at a rehab hospital for 63 days, PT 2 times a day, 5 days week and one on Sat. Now i have st home pt 2 days a week. I am told it can take up to a year for the nerves to "wake up ". I am making some progress. I am told just sitting in a wheel chair and taking pills or any magic fix you see on line will never work. I hope to get some input from others. dpinc
