Thank you for your response. I have a neurosurgeon who performed my C5-6 fusion and discetemy. He feels that all the symptoms are not related to the spine injuries or surgery. I also have a neurologist and rheumatologist who are treating me for the symptoms. The neurologist feels it is autoimmune related and the rheumatologist feels that it is neurologically related. I'm like a ping pong ball right now. I have had three series of extensive blood work done and also two EMGs and four MRIs. The next step is the skin biopsy. Can you tell me more about the B12 treatments? I take B12 supplements and eat a diet rich in anti inflammatory foods to help my symptoms as much as possible. I also go to physical therapy and do tai chi at home. I will try any alternative treatments that I can find available. I will be going to the cleveland clinic next month. The mayo clinic is much farther away, but I will be inquiring about going there as well, once I am able. I am 45 years old and have two young children so this is quite a challenge for my family.
Thank you for any advice you have to offer.

Kat

Have you or anyone else been using Horizant (gabapentin enocarbil) for neuropathy pain?
