Default Help

Hi Liza,

I'm a new member to NT and am trying to learn my way around the site. I not sure where or who to start with, but thought you could steer me in the right direction. I have been diagnosed with PN, but have felt my doctor isn't too much on top of my case or guiding me. I must admit I feel very hopeless right now. The pain is getting worse and I don't know what to do. I read part of your post that says it gets better. I just need some hope.

Thanks,
Dave

Lightbulb Medscape article:

This is a very good article on neuropathies, with definitions, tables, lists, etc:

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/510706

An Approach to the Evaluation of Peripheral Neuropathies

Mark B. Bromberg, MD, PhD

You can join Medscape for free...if you don't belong already. It is a wonderful resource to have at hand to consult on many medical conditions, new drugs, etc.

Thumbs up illustrations of pain generation:

This is an excellent illustrated model showing how pain is generated from the periphery and perceived in the brain:
