Hi Max
Sorry to hear you are going down this road. I am of a similar age & mine started of in a similar manor to yours. Your nerve conduction test will tell you how far it has progressed. Your only hope of a cure, is if the cause can be found & treated. No cause was found for mine, so I have had to get used to living with it. |

Hi numbfoot
Thank you for your comment. The orthopedist did the sound fork test only on one foot and did not explain anything before the test. The "test" lasted about 15-20 seconds and after that he gave me his diagnose "You've got peripherial neuropathy":. It seems that the sound fork used was 128 Hz tool. I just happen to have a 440 Hz sound fork at home. It is for guitar tuning. I made the same test with my own fork and I do feel the trembling everywhere on my feet. 400 Hz is higher that 128. I don't know if my own test any value. 128 Hz sound forks are quite cheap. Maybe I should be one. That might also bring me more stress. |

Max, I see you are coming here from Finland. On your issues and telling us of your excellent health, I can only suggest a few things I've used and stgill do...The neuropathy I manage is from a hip replacement 11 yrs and nerve damage.
I rub my feet every night with Topricin for Feet and also some Ultra Tiger Balm and wear socks all day. Internally I have had great success withj Inosine and Sphingolin and overall good health due to taking Grape Seed Extract for decades. If these are available in Finland I don't know . Do your feet burn/tingle? |

Hi Caroline
Thank you for your comments. Topricin - It seems that it is not available ion my country. Of course I can order it from somewhere. Ultra Tiger Balm - I know this one and it is available in pharmacies. Inosine - It is available here. Sphingolin - Not available here. Grape Seed Extract - I'll keep this in mind Do your feet burn/tingle? - I don't feel burn very much. Only occasionally and it is not very painful. Same with tingle. The ball of my both feet are quite numb. Left foot more than right. I am puzzled that I might have something called metatarsalgia. There are quite sore places between my toes and the ball of my feet seem to be little bloated. I might still have neuropathy beside all this. There are over 2 weeks before I go to the ENMG test. I will meet a foot specialist before that. |

Hang in there.
Still early days for you. Might pay to hold back on the remedies until you have a diagnosis. |

I get sore foot areas in hot weather when my feet swell or if shoes are too tight or don't fit well. My foot pain does fade away..
It may take a few months if due to poor shoes...but with good fitting shoes plus good shoe inserts , it's worth a try.. A skilled chiropractor may be worth a try to see it they can do some adjustments that will help... or acupuncture..

Hi Max,
Can you really diagnose polyneuropathy with a tuning fork? Why is a practitioner using a tuning fork in 2021? How sensitive and reliable and reproducible are those tests? You have no base line data to work with. What was your sensitivity like 10 years ago for example? I have several of those symptoms you describe form time to time and they are not the end of the world. I barely notice them. Peripheral nerves are able to heal themselves so adopt the optimum lifestyle for nerve health if you are worried by Peripheral Neuropathy. Diet, supplements, exercise, meditation, gratitude practises, for example. Best wishes, Atty |
