I would appreciate any information and results. I'm no fan of surgeries, but the way this has progressed I'm no fan of wanting to endure another winter. I take supplements recommended on this forum and take 10mg of Methadone twice a day for pain. I just tried recently amitriptyline for six weeks and quit it. Its good for sleep taken in small dosage 10mg at night. Thanks

Hi Stagger. I had lost feeling from knees to toes and elbows to fingers by 1997 when introduced to Dr. Dellon. He did surgery - 3 nerve releases in each limb - one limb at a time - one set of surgery every 3 months in 1998 and 1999. My Diabetic Symptoms had started in 1976 but wasn't diagnosed until 1991, hence lots of nerve damage which got progressively worse. Was retested every year for first 10 years after the surgery and no degradation of feeling. I am still as good as new 17 years down the road after my first round of surgery. So happy my local Podiatrist heard Dr. Dellon speak and referred me to him. It worked for me and I hope it will work for you. His office can test you to see if you are a candidate for surgery. Not everyone is, but he will give you a candid assessment. Best of luck.
