hello wow sorry to hear you have this neuropathy i have a different neuropathy but its simular I got my diabetes diagnosed in may of 2010 and i had surgery in my stomach this past april of 2011 developed this burning feet stabing lightening bolts pain in my left leg from meralgia paresthetica its a pinched nerve and i have been in such pain that i asked for pain medications in october of 2010 so it has not gotten any better i have my days that i am useless as a frog standing walking doing my dishes at the kitchen sink starts my pain up .
I have not heard of any remedys for my condition I had to quit employement just to weak and tired my diabetes has been controlled and high blood pressure is controlled and i take like 8 meds a day to . I always was a busy man I loved money i had self employement income and i was a salesperson at THE HOME DEPOT AND OTHER MAJOR LUMBERYARDS IN MY AREA I MISS WORKING . it was good to get my disabilty approved this pass november so i am a bit better that income is coming in but i would rather be working i was hoping maybe to work one day a week but i don't see myself being able to do it so i go to diabetic talk groups once a month and hear other problems but i am finding out there's no good treatment for my conditions i have I was thinking about getting water therapy and some excercise for my back soon I am gonna have to pay out of my pocket for it but i thinks its worth a try .I am hoping that maybe the swiming and useing some of the gym equipment could make me get off the pain medications and then i may be able to maybe work a day a week i am so bored being home I lost a sister last month and i see my other family members in worst conditions than me I need the therapy so have you talked to anyone about therapy for your conditions keep in comtact with me i will let you know if i get anyless pain from the water therapy goodluck from jemjeff10
