I don't recognize many of the words in your post. So what I will tell you is that after several car accidents many years ago I tried Feldenkraiz on the suggestion of a friend... it's a soft tissue therapy, and it got rid of my limp.

That was before I knew I had a B12 deficiency. I also went to a body work man who was/is highly respected in our area, and that was sooooo painful. I think it was so painful because he pushed on pressure points that were extremely painful because of low B12, only I didn't know that then.


MY PN was never so bad I had to be in a wheelchair.

With the tetanus I had I couldn't have been in a wheelchair because I wasn't strong enough to have moved it. Tetanus takes away nearly all of ones strength.


But, I do know that after I had a B12 shot a day for a few months, the PN in my thigh that had been so bad I had to sleep on an air mattress, and even at that was repeatedly woken by pain -- went away.

I get twinges of it now, because there's major stress... but otherwise the constant third degree sunburn feeling and sharp pain is no longer there.

So... if you aren't taking Methylcobalamin, the form of B12 that our bodies use, I would try it if I were you... I'd get the 5mg ones and take at least three a day for a week... maybe longer...

For me to have had a shot a day for three months, (and sometimes two shots a day) was about equal to 6 to 12 of the 5mg lozenges a day...

but that would be really expensive.

If you try the lozenges, be sure to keep some notes, and if you find they help at all, then I would try to get my doctor (if I were you) to give me a prescription for self injections.

the only thing is, that on my thigh where I used to have the horrible PN, it's harder to do shots because just the touch of the needle is painful... but on the other thigh the needle often slips in as if it were going into butter...

(perhaps that means I'm WAY too fat)
