Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hi John, yes, I've seen a couple of Nuerologist but my problem started in 2008 with burning pain and numbness in my buttocks, both legs, and left. Had two lumbar laminectomy over the years that corrected most of my pain with the exception of burning pain and numbness in my left food. My Neutologist thinks I have a biomechanical problem in my left foot. Tomorrow I'm going to see an orthopedic doctor at our local University Health Department. I have orthodistts that doesn't help my pain and I take Gabapentin and a topical cream that helps the pain. Just thought I'd see if anyone here has anything like mine. Thank you John. Bob

I have neuropathy in my feet, calves, and hands. I take gabapentin but it doesn't do much. I also had a laminectomy in left side of my back due to leg cramping and seizing up and causing excrutiating pain. It didn't helpmy leg. It went more numb or dead as I call it because it really is dead. Plus, before I had that surgery, they tried a shot, which didn't work and caused my right calve to die also. Now its in my hands. I don't know what to do, it's just getting worse. I feel I will eventually be in a wheel chair. Doctors just give meds with and tell you to cut out sugars. It's unbelievable there is no real help here. I am in Wyoming.
