83yr Female nondiabetic presnets with parasthesiasof feet due to idiopathic senile peripheral neuropathy, B12: normal, diet: normal. Tried application of local anestetics on sole but got no benefit. She seeks medical treatment?
She is NOT DIABETIC
She is NOT DIABETIC and SEEKS MEDICAL TREATMENT.
Division of nerve will not prove good as it will diminish sensations (that can lead to neuropathic ulcers) as well as autonomic regulation (e.g. sweating and blood vessels).

Was in a car wreck in Oct. - doct. says I have peripheral neuropathy, possibility of it being crushed nerve. Have been on Lyrica(to rejuvenate nerve-not working), also was given Tramadol(for pain-not working). I'm in pool therapy 3x a week(not working). Doct. has me wearing the AFO brace(so I won't get drop foot). Need pain relieve- and want to know treatment if it is crushed. Thanks/All Have A Good Day!!!

I had a wonderful case of shingles this spring that covered my right forehead & scalp down to my right eye.
After giving me a prescription for anit-viral drugs, I demanded something at least to help with the intense itching & sensation of being attacked by millions of stabbing pins. My doc gave me an allergy drug - he is very conservative on pain medications. He did insist I go to an eye doc to make sure the virus hadn't entered my optice nerve. Is going to the eye doc & no pain meds standard procedure?
