I understand what you are going through with PN and cold feet. My feet get cold [and I live in Arizona! LOL!] and it is so painful. Does anyone know if there are "PN SPECIALISTS" out there? I have seen neurologists and a podiatrist [referred by neurologist] who could care less. I have read that PN can lead to amputation and I am having so many problems that I am very scared. I don't know where to turn. I know there is no cure for PN, but certainly something can be done before it comes to amputation?? You can see a line just below my knees [both legs] where my PN has moved up to. You can actually see the line. Below the line, there is swelling, an extreme change in my skin, the skin is much whiter than my upper legs......well, anyone with PN knows what I am talking about, and knows there is more. I would just like to find a Dr who cares and who might have ideas for treatment to keep it progressing to amputation. My feet are extremely bad. For toleration, I am up to 600 mgs of Gabapentin, with 2 x-strength tylenol, at least 3, and often 4 times a day. The Gaba is more than I should take because of an involuntary neurological body sway, because it gives me less control in preventing falls, but if I don't take it, I cannot tolerate the pain. Anyone else?
