I had bilateral neuroma surgery 6 months
ago. I continue to have numbness, which I
expect do to the removal of these nerves.
But, the pain has no rhymn or reason. I
don't know if it is diet related, or if it
is too much exercise, but the pain is
worse on some days. Tramadol seems to
help, and I think neurontin helps. I was
diagnosed with pn, but none of the tests
showed pn. Just a bad ankle reflex. But,
I was told by a podiatrist that this
reflex tends to diminish with age. I'm
not diabetic. 102 was my glucose....Low
cholesterol and triglycerides....So
confusing.

Hi there! Have you thought about seeking
another opinion from another neurologist,i
do not know if a reflexologist would help.
I did not like neurontin, it kind of made
me feel kind of out of it but we are all
different and I do not know how many mg.,
you are taking but your doc might want to
up your dose. I live with alot of neuro
problems too so I do understand what pain
is and I can hardly walk and it effects
my vision, I too have pn and rsd, I also
use valium.I am not a dr but have you
tried a .T.E.N.S unit, it does help some
people you might want to check it out on
the internet and talk to your dr about it.
My dr alqays said that he wished he could
find the magic pill for me amd I wish your
dr could do the same for you! Keep us
posted. I am on methadone and roxanal for
pain among other meds.
Good luck
