Re: How does a doctor test for neuropathy?

[Guest guest]

Carolyn, have you tried Alpha Lipoic Acid www.iherb.com or MSM www.msm.com

or Evening Primrose Oil? Sometimes these things really help people, and

aren't as hard on your stomach as nsaid's (like Aleve).

My endo says I have good ciruclation in my feet and legs but that doesn't

discount the pain from the neuropathy neither does it help explain it so

they won't give me anything for it so I take Aleve by the handful.

They did the tests on both my hands and feet also then he tells me I have carpel

tunnel which I already knew from symptoms. He wrote me up for a splint for the

right hand which is the worst and that was it. I hate the splint and only where

it when it is really bad. If you know what the repetitive motion is that is

causing the carpel you can work on it with exercises that are the reverse of

that motion. Been doing that for 20 years and it does help to avoid drugs and

surgery for the discomfort.
