Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Dec 8 11:43am | Replies (3052)Comment receiving replies
I've had peripheral neuropathy in my feet for 10 years. I take gabapetin 3 times a day and I take Hydrocodone 3 times a day for pain. The combination of these drugs is the only way I can deal with the pain. I have been looking for information on stem cell treatment for neuropathy but I haven't seen anything in the US. I have seen some treatments in China and Mexico. Any information on stem cell treatment for neuropathy would be greatly appreciated. I believe it's coming but it can't get here soon enough.

BEWARE OF ANY STEM CELL CLAIMS! A LADY I KNEW SEVERAL YEARS AGO SPENT ABOUT A YEAR IN THE TIJUANA AREA OF MEXICO WHERE SHE SPENT AT LEAST $10,000 FOR STEM CELL OPERATIONS FOR HEART AND LATER HER ARTHRITIC KNEES. ALL $$ DOWN THE TOILET!! LATER SHE WENT TO UTAH FOR OTHER QUACKS.

I take the same as you but I take 2 600mg gabapentin at a time. I use only 1 Hydrocodin at night. I was finding 3 Hydrocodin a day was making me forget more than a 72 yo. I put a regular pain cream on my feet at night like Lidocaine, Bengay or Aleve. I was using a Australian made cream but too expensive $31. I still have. some pain I know this won't go away and there is no cure so after reading that B6 B12 can help I will ask my doctor to test my levels before I start taking it.

Do you know what the cause is for your neuropathy? Could be diabetes, autoimmune, chemo etc. Mine is autoimmune so I've tried a couple of DMARDs with no luck. Might try one more and then IVIG.
