Hi. My husband had Idiopathic PN and it took years to finally find out why he had it. Stemmed from pinch nerves in his back.

Went to a chiropractic/neurologist and he still goes. Made a world of difference.

PN has a multitude of causes!!!!

Is this man a diabetic?? If he is, he must get his blood sugar under control.

Has he had different kinds of tests???.

My husband had every test known to man including toxic metal testing, hemochromatosis, diabetic testing, you name it, my husband had the test for it.

All came back negative.

Only when someone finally ordered an MRI of his back, (and the orthopedist who did this said to us "there's nothing we can do, just control the pain).

yeah, right!! My husband was on pain patches, (Called duragesic fentanyl pain patch). he was up to 150 of the patch.

Guess what, today he goes to the gym every other day and hasn't worn a patch in 3 years.

Yes, he still has PN but because of the adjustments (and my massages every night), he's a new man.

You're on a good forum here. You will get lots of good information!!!!
Wish you well.
