Thank you so very much. I never connected my periodic back pain with the tightness I feel around my ankles. I did note that when I ate sugar my feet felt strange as though I had on socks. Once after having eaten birthday cake, candy, and excessive sweets I had difficulty walking so could readily attribute this condition to eating sugar. I made notes from your video to take with me to my doctor’s appointment for my annual checkup. Thanks for all your good advice and good work. I very much appreciate you.

[@armandosanchez7155]

Yes, all my symtoms get worst, with higher carbs, specially if it contains gluten. My Gastro Doctor, think is not related. Uk medical reports, say gluten intolarence, can cause burning, thightens, pins and needles.

Certain foods are known to cause inflammation. I stay away from dairy, greasy foods and high carbs which have caused mines to flare up. I've experimented with several foods and have pin point it to those.

I have peripheral neuropathy in my feet for the past 8 years and my advice is stay away from any prescription drug. Only someone who doesn't suffer from this disease can suggest walking and wearing shoes, which only makes things worse. I suggest put your feet on a vibration platform while sitting on a chair once in the morning and just before going to bed for 15 minutes to alleviate the pain and get the blood circulating in your feet and legs.

[@kristinajansondpm]

Thank you for your POV. Remember that the most important thing is to understand why you have PN, and control the underlying problem. I do agree, that the result of Rx drugs for PN can be disappointing for some people.

[@druannpellegrini5661]

I believe neuropathy is unique for each of us. Walking should Not harm you or make it worse. Exercise to your feet is GOOD for you. 🙏🏻

[@comancheflyer4903]

@@druannpellegrini5661 You are right, neuropathy is unique for each of us. In my case walking is causing severe pain, especially on sloping surfaces and rough surfaces, hence I am using a vibration platform for exercise.

​@@kristinajansondpm Many people have idiopathic neuropathy. I've always lived a very healthy lifestyle. But 15 yrs ago I got Padgett's disease cancer and had 4 rounds of platinum based chemotherapy. Neuropathy gradually took over my whole body. Nothing stopped it's progression or helped the symptoms. Full body fire 🔥. Small fiber neuropathy too. Now the intestines have shut down. What a way to die.

[@adalbertfuchs9107]

Alpha R-Lipoid acid helped me. It's not gone, but not as present as it used to be. I can sleep without waking up, having good moments forgetting the pain, it worked for me.

[@ronaldfish1569]

Thank you very informative. I have neuropathy but have not been diagnosed.

[@kristinajansondpm]

Glad it was helpful!

I had bunion surgery in my foot and it seems to affect that a lot, along with my knees - I am also 54 going thru Perimenopause. I have a pinched nerve in my S5 and coldness in my legs and groin area with burning/itching sensations. I had an MRI that confirms it. I have tried Physical Therapy and didn't work now I have to get a cortisone shot in my lower back to see if that works. Keeping my fingers crossed. This is just awful - I would love to be able to do more exercise but haven't been able to because the pain in my lower back and knees and feet is awful for two days.

[@miniriver4865]

Oh my thank you so much for this topic! Made my day!

[@kristinajansondpm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@altagraceyanick6076]

Didn't know that dry skin could trigger neuropathy symptoms if you are diabetic. Thank you.

[@donnaallgaier-lamberti3933]

We RE waiting for an exact diagnosis now- we think it is CMT. My husband has had the nerve test, the MRI's, We have improved his shoes (for his hammertoes,) ordered custom orthodontics and he walks every day. My husband is in PT now to see if that can help (his spinal stenosis.) It is my understanding from the CMT Group that gabapentin is counter indicated for CMT as it can be toxic for those patients. He is on the Ketogenic Protocol- mostly vegetables, no sugar, no alcohol and no inflammatory foods. I am SO PLEASED that you mention dietary changes as this is so important.

[@mnmmnm8321]

What are you doing to the poor bloke?

[@amelittaberretta9109]

Absolutely.

[@prakashdindoyal8484]

Hello doctor...what do you think about benfothiamine and ALA ..for treating neuropathy either preventively or for good...thank you .....take care..

[@gglehteswhtemnAdChrstns]

Nice advice. I’m not so sure about gabapentin or prebablin. The correct dose can be difficult to achieve and these drugs have a very long half life and accumulate in the body. I was prescribed a dose too high, took Pregablin for several months but went off the due to causing me blackouts. Even after being off for several weeks, the drug was still in my system and I had a blackout while driving. Not a good situation!

[@anniedjaswadi]

Hi, I'm 72, I'm 2 diabetic since 1996. I have neuropathy pain in my feet for years. Sixt month ago I'm taking Vitamins B Complex the pain is gone. If you want you can try it Vitamins B complex is good for nerves damages.

[@redpepper8913]

​@@anniedjaswadi any suggestion for burning feet sir.... Struggling to sleep because of foot pain and burning

[@gglehteswhtemnAdChrstns]

@@anniedjaswadi thanks buddy. I found a version of fat soluble B vitamins are they seem to be making a difference

[@arnimkrause5696]

Not one mention about vitamin B1 and B12? Lack of these 2 vitamins is one of the root causes of peripheral neuropathy. You're a typical big Pharm pill pusher period! Yes get the tests done you talked about but use natural ways of curing yourself instead. As people get older B12 gets harder to absorb to a point where it does not get absorbed by the digestive tract in which case use a B12 Methylcobalamin Sublingual which is placed under the tongue so that it goes directly into the blood stream. You can get this in tablet or liquid form. Also B12 injections from a doctor?

[@joely2121]

Good advice on B1 and B12 - I agree - and great of you to underline this.

[@tominnc315]

Im convinced that a lg number of neuropathy is due to : stress fear anger worry etc Its at least partially a mind body disorder. Has anyone explained whats happening??? Why does diabetes effect nerves? The mechanism is???

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

It feels like my feet are vibrating. I drove a semi truck 🚛 for 25yrs. I just played it off from the vibration of the semi. I have major problem with the back now. Had to go on disability. I'm walking & exercising. My big NO NO is the energy drinks. Bread I can leave alone. Adopted parents never allowed me to have bread at home in high school. The energy drinks came from driving all of hours of the day

[@trusharthakkar8954]

I had burning feet past one year now it decreased but now vibration in both feet.

[@ruthnapolitano6769]

I have vibrations 2 in the 2 legs, is driving me crazy at night.

[@omarrodriguez6586]

Does anybody know if it's normal to have tingling all over the body ,and even the face sometimes!! I'm not diabetic ,don't smoke !

[@pushpapatel4940]

I have got a very bad neuropathy in my feet can you help me to get me the best medication to get better thank you very much 🙏🏻

[@kristinajansondpm]

Sorry, I can only treat you if you make an appointment.

[@sirenagarrido3836]

Until today they haven’t done anything I know I have my 5th lumbar with certain damages but they don’t care they gave me gabapentin in a higher doses that never worked and is not working still, I am not interested in any medication I need to find out the root and started the treatment the only way to calm the fire on my feet and legs is water ice and I can’t sleep because the pain and burning awake me

[@diana07753]

Hotters if you’ve heard of them. If you are in the Uk

[@andrewbispham1080]

I was referred to a foot specialist and she recommended Merrell Moab. They do ventilator, waterproof and light walking boots all in the same style with very good arch support and a vibram sole. She also recommended using a propriety shock absorbing insole in other shoes as available from Superdrug (if in UK)

[@karenimran3349]

I’m sure I have this problem. I have burning and also my feet can turn cold. I have a Morton’s neuroma which developed after breaking my foot. I have back problems also.

Peripheral neuropathy can be cured fully??

Is Delirium Tremens a type of Neuropathy?

[@kristinajansondpm]

No, it's alcohol withdrawal and will dissipate. Peripheral Neuropathy doesn't go away by itself.

[@heniberhernanmolinaconstan9162]

I had some mild numbness in some of my fingers or toes some days, but the problem that bothers me the most is that I can hardly reach an orgasm, sometimes I can't at all, doctors on youtube say that it is retarded ejaculation and others that has to do with peripheral neuropathy. Anyway, some friends envy me because they say can please women much better by lasting longer in bed, but after some minutes of sex you also wish to cum and have an orgasm and if that's not possible it is really disappointing and worrisome.

[@aheenzidan]

can marijuana help?

[@davidlaurence2374]

Complete bs about opioids from you. Ten time worse when wearing off?
