I have sensory-motor peripheral neuropathy. Over the past number of months my upper stomach has been bothering me in the center and a little to the right just below my rib cage. The pain radiates into my back. The doctor says it may be a peptic ulcer by the symtoms, he did a ultrasound of my gawl bladder (I don't know if I spelled that correctly) and said it looks good.
I don't take imflammatory medicine that often, usually 2 to 3 times a week for my arthritis. I now have to stop taking it because it can aggrevaite my problem. Has anyone else experienced problems with their gastric track because of neuropathy. I have also noticed that the numbness and tingling in my feet and legs do not feel as bad when I go barefooted. I did not go have the LP that the neurologist ordered he wants to check for autoimmune problems were the immune system attacks the nerves. kinda scary and it is subject to my deductable. I don't know if there is any other tests that can be preformed to check if it is a autoimmune problem damaging my nerves
