Thanks,

I went to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, and they focused more on the edema in my legs than anything. I've got the same thing you have, except it's only in the feet. I go to a guy in Boca Raton, who was highly recommended, the guy is busier than you can imagine, and he's a good listener, but all he did was prescribe a thousand capsules of Neurontin. He said he didn't believe in 'dope' to treat neuropathy. I just laughed, took the prescription, and went to the pain doctor to get my 'dope' so that I wouldn't 'kill myself'. None of these guys has an answer. They've recommended B vitamins because they thought it was a vitamin deficiency, but it hasn't even made a dent in the pain. I'm going in for an experimental treatment on Monday that's helped out a lot of different types of pain, and the doctor has worked with neuropathy before. Look up - Dr. Jacobson and Magnetic Resonance Therapy. He's in Jupiter, FL. It's in another thread here. I'll let everyone know how it progresses.
