PN Gone after surprise surgery

Posted by alfer @alfer, Oct 26 7:13am

Have suffered from PN in my feet for over a year. Have tried all non-drug treatments such as B-12, R-ALA. topical creams with varied success. Then recently had an unexpected heart attack requiring successful emergency open heart surgery and replacement of my Aortic valve. I am currently rehabbing and noticed the absence of any PN symptoms! My cardiologist suggests that my new heart valve and arteries have improved my blood circulation to my peripheral arteries. Just thought that this could be an indication of a more serious heart condition issue! Hopefully this information might save your life.
