Looking to connect with people who have non-diabetic neuropathy
Neuropathy | Last Active: Jul 14 1:33pm | Replies (960)Comment receiving replies
My question is: my neuropathy is traveling to my shoulder and calves. 6 months ago it was only in my feet.
My Neurologist suggests I have a pinched nerve!
He has not asked me to come in to check it out.
The only test I have had for my P.N. was an EMG.
Am I getting proper treatment??
TIA., Pat!

That's a difficult question for any of us non medical folks Pat. You mentioned in a previous post that you have been doing a lot of PT and exercises for building your strength and helping balance and walking. What kind of symptoms are you getting in your shoulders and calves? Is it possible that it's related to muscle soreness from all of the PT and exercise?
Progression can occur in neuropathy and a pinched or compressed nerve can definitely can cause symptoms to travel around the body depending on the nerve that's being compressed and other factors way above my level of knowledge. Does your neurologist think that your PN is related or caused by a pinched nerve?
