Maybe I'm way off base BUT I've never been to a doctor for tests and more tests and then what, they push their drugs. It's a vicious cycle. We should know what caused the PN, can be so many issues and for me it was a messed up hip replacement 10 yrs ago. No nerve damage before that.

So much can cause this issue, and medications are a big one.

There is so much good support in the PN group here and I've talked about what helped me a lot:

Inosine
Grape Seed Extract
Topricin for Pain (homeopathic lotion)

You won't get the above info from the doctors.

A friend suffered with IN for years and finally realized it was from Statins. The doctor didn't know that????Please.....
