Raynauds Syndrome and Prudential Nerve damage related to Neurology?

Posted by curiosityisa10 @curiosityisa10, Jul 23, 2023

I have been treated for Neuropathy in feet and legs using a
newer laser treatment to regenerate nerves. Worked while in
treatment, pain and throbbing came back weeks after. Question
I wonder if I may have Small Fiber Neuropathy and if it could
be related to Raynauds Syndrome which I have as well as Prudential
Nerve Damage and related Pelvic Floor issues due to childbirths.
How and where can I find information on these questions?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Also, I would like to know if anyone has used Cold Therapy or
Cold Plunges to deal with Neuropathy Pain in Feet and Legs.

@curiosityisa10 hello, I have peripheral neuropathy also and Raynaud’s disease.

I would say, the very last thing anyone with Raynaud’s disease or any circulation problems should do is cold plunges…if you have circulation issues the cold will make it worse.
My fingertips and toes become so painful when exposed to cold that I can’t even imagine how painful a cold plunge would feel.

Neuropathy can not be healed. Once nerves are damaged they cannot be repaired or regenerated. The best we can do is keep ourselves aware of what legitimate information will help us be more able to live with the effects of this disease.
I know it’s frustrating. There are so very many people who have been affected by this situation and are looking for answers.

Totally agree with you! Warm water, gloves and worm, soft cashmere socks, and sheepskin slippers works for me. Even warm bath, wouldn't dare to try cold therapy.

I have commented elsewhere about pudendal nerve entrapment. Search for the term and there are a few discussions about it. Also search “Spinal Cord Stimulator” b/c there is some help there. It is a mixed bag but has helped me.

Very interesting. I have a similar problem. I have been having discoloration of fingers and toes. My doctor told me that it is Raynaud's Syndrome and there is nothing to do but to keep my hands and feet warm. I guess this is another aspect of PN.
