Default Suspected peripheral neuropathy - not sure what to do

Hi,

For the last 2.5 weeks I've been experiencing buring in my feet. It changes sometimes to my ankles, sometimes its shooting pain, sometimes it's an "icy-hot" sensation. The funny thing is that it tends to go away at night and most mornings I wake up fine and it comes on shortly after. I went for acupuncture and for that entire day there were no symptoms. They returned the next day however, but then disappeared a day later for the Easter weekend when I went skiing and they were gone completely until Monday night (3.5 days)

The doctor suspects peripheral neuropathy and is sending me for nerve conduction tests (which will likely take a few months).

In the meantime he did all the bloodwork and it came back clean. The only idea he has is that it might be the Propafenone that I am taking for my heart. He has advised me to try and stop it. He also gave me some amitriptyline to try.

Obviously I need to wait to see the neurologist but does this sound like PN to you guys? Rapid onset and having it come and go seems unusual from what I've read.

Does anyone have any advice? I would love to hear it.

Monty
