t know for sure if this is the cause of the burning, but both Hep C and Interferon can cause peripheral neuropathy. One of the signs of peripheral neuropathy is burning of the feet. These symptoms are something you should discuss with your doctor. They could be from Hep C, from the interferon, or both. They may disappear after treatment but they may not. Plus they may or may not be from peripheral neuropathy. They could be from something else. So best to get it checked out.

ACE inhibitors are widely used, specially in diabetic patients who usually have a higher prevalence of peripheral neuropathy, and worsening of neuropathy on patients caused by these medications is not common. The fact that the side effect is not common does not mean that what you feel is not related to the medication. I cannot really say if the medication is causing you the problem or not.

I know that peripheral neuropathy is a symptom, not a disease. I am diagnosed with secondary progressive MS but I had some signs of peripheral neuropathy too. So I was tested for many many different things. My EMG was fine so were most of my tests as I have already written. Things are getting worse and worse. My legs freeze increasing my spasticity. I cannot stand even minor enviropmental changes. As you understand I am not treated for anything, apart from MS, as we don't know what it is.

Hi...peripheral neuropathy can cause tingling and numbness in hands or feet....and it is common in those with Chiari.... I really do not understand when Drs do not think certain symptoms or pains can not be from Chiari when Chiari affects the brain stem, spinal cord, and all the nerves run thru there....so how can it not ? Did they rule out tethered cord for you? What type of pain is it?

It sounds as though you were diagnosed with a large fiber neuropathy. There are several categories of this type of neuropathy, and there are many many causes. Sensory neuropathies can involve just one nerve or several nerves in the body. The symptoms are sensory loss and if motor nerves are involved ,weakness. Some types of sensory neuropathies occur and progress very slowly, others sort of wax and wane (with flare-ups) and some are progressive.

It is important to identify the cause of peripheral neuropathy in your case. It can be due to vitamin B 12 deficiency, Thyroid dysfunction, and diabetes. Certain medications can also cause peripheral neuropathy. Nerve compression in the lower lumbar spine can also cause these symptoms. I would suggest you to undergo a complete neurological evaluation as soon as you can. In the meantime you can take B complex supplements for relief and do some gentle back exercises.

Was wondering if anyone is dealing with the horrible effects of peripheral neuropathy and if so lets talk symptoms and treatment. I am desperate to regain strength to get my life back. Any feedback would be appreciated.
