Neuropathy and treatment?

Would like to hear from anyone who's primary neuropathy is to the entire legs and feet. Burning, icy hot sensations and burning restless feet. It is mot diabetic. I am taking large doses of neurontin and mirapex and am just barely comfortable. Has your Dr. diagnosed a possible cause?

Please see the webpages for more details on Sciatica.

could be raynauds syndrome...bad circulation. i take tildiem to help with circulation but still get burning feet. if my feet are really hot at night i feel walking about for a while helps

This might not be the cause of your problem, but I figured I would at least give you another option to think about. Have you tried seeing a chiropractor?

Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic deals with more than just "neck and back pain." Chiropractic is founded in the principle that the Central Nervous System (our brain, spinal cord, and nerves) controls EVERY bodily function. When the spinal column is misaligned, the vertebrae can pinch the nerves that run out between them and cause pain, numbness/tingling, or any type of general malfunction in that nerve's corresponding body part. It's important to understand that the nerves that run down our arms and legs originate from the spine, so if there is any pressure on those nerves at the spinal level, it can result in these abnormal sensations you are experiencing.

I'm NOT saying that this is the definite cause of your problem, but it might be something to at least consider. Chiropractic works to remove this neural interference via adjustments (if this is indeed the cause of the problem). Chiropractic is a safe, non-invasive healthcare option that doesn't use surgery or drugs that could have potentially harmful side effects. I used to work in a chiro office and saw how it helped people with numbness/tingling in the hands and feet (my aunt was one of them).

So if you do decide to see a chiropractor, just ask family and friends for recommendations, visit a few offices, and choose the doctor that you are most comfortable with. Because there are many different types of chiropractic techniques out there, ask the DC if s/he treats a lot of patients with similar problems and if they saw results. No matter what you decide to do, I sincerely hope that things work out for you. Best of luck!
