The pain usually occurs over a few days, and lessens, and then a few weeks later, hits again with a higher threshold, and longer period of remission.
She has had an MRI, an EMG test, and her blood tests are normal. MS has been ruled out, as well as other demyleating (?sp) diseases. Her family history has diabetis, and yet the blood tests show no problems. The only thing that has showed up once was high on uric acid.
I know there are more than 100 causes. We want to find the reason.
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.
Hello dear,
Tindamax may cause seizures and peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in the hands and feet). Stop taking Tindamax and see your doctor right away if you have these symptoms
Refer http://www.fda.gov/Cder/consumerinfo/druginfo/tindamax.
Most likely possibility here could be metronidazole or due to low level of vitamin B related to neuropathy (nerve pain like numbness and tingling at affected areas). Vitamin B-complex rich diet may help in reducing neuropathy symptoms. This may lead to muscle weakness and coordination also. If you suffer continuous weakness and notice reduced strength of muscle bulk in your limbs, please arrange an appointment with a neurologist right away who may evaluate the possibilities first.
I do not have any clue about this. I presume you mean "peripheral neuropathy" and not CIDP which is also treated with IVIG?
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.
Male friend had brain surgery. He was left with chronic venous insufficiency and neuropathy. He can't walk because of this. What can he do to stop the severe burining sensation on both of his legs?
I am very concerned because I had unprotected sexual intercourse on Dec 12th, 08 (wasn't meant to be but the guy i was with purposely removed the condemn) and two weeks later , I had a yeast infection in my mouth, sore throat, frequent and sudden urge to urinate, severe muscle aches, arthiritis pain, especially in my neck and shoulders, ankles , knees, wrists, and went to my doctor who thought i suffered from some psychological problems because i had massive paranoia in his office, and
This Lyrica and Elavil is prescribed or peripheral neuropathy bet the side effect makes me confused. Dr. said I could take the Elavil during the day for pain but can't work, drive or concentrate. Anyone know of another antidepressant that helps with the nerve pain that won't cause the side effects that can be taken during the day?
I have severe peripheral neuropathy (PN) in both feet as a result of cancer (Waldenstrom). The cancer has been successfully treated but the PN is steadily getting worse. I tested negative on NCV and EMG. I take Lyrica and Amitriptyline. I'm on my feet for an hour a day wearing Crocs and can't wear shoes. It helps to sit with my feet up (level with my bottom) otherwise they get more painful, swollen and purple.
Q: My PN seem different from how most descibe it.
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?
I have been to a neurologist and his first diagnosis was peripheral neuropathy (which my grandmother has - idiopathic). I had an MRI which ruled out MS. Blood work which ruled out vitamin deficiencies. Most recently i had an EMG which came back ... normal....does this mean that i dont have peripheral neuropathy? what else could cause all of this?
thanks so much!
I have been diagnosed with Peripheral neuropathy and have been told that I may need a lumbar puncture.
I have always dreaded this procedure and wonder if it is necessary.
Thank you.
The latest problems relate to peripheral neuropathy in his hands (and, less so, his feet). They are either burning very painfully or numb and he gets very upset about this, not to mention the fact that it reduces his everyday quality of life.
We live in the UK and he has been given tablets which are supposed to take the pain away.
