Although I am certain I have Hereditary Peripheral Neuropathy (because my dad also had it), I have been to specialists, had test after test and get the shoulder shrug that indicates the doc doesn't know how to help me. I know it is NOT CURABLE... I just want some relief from pain and answers. I take gabapentin and all the vits, plus ibuprofen as needed. Still walk like a 90 year old and I'm in my early 50's. I also have a very painful growth on the back of my right heel near the ankle area that is very painful and no suggestions from doc on what to do about it. Sorry so lengthy. I am hoping there is someone out there walking in my similar miserable shoes that can help. BTW I am a very upbeat, happy person and live with this everyday without making my family miserable! I just hope for better relief. Thanks in advance. I appreciate any advice or guidance.
