Hi at long last after loads and loads of different test I guess to rule out cancer, MS and other things the Neurologist has diagnosed my hubby with peripheral neuropathy.
Only he didnt really seem interested in answering any questions and hastily sent us away with an appointment at the pain clinic
Hubby has the neuropathy badly in his right leg to the point the muscles have wasted so much he cant even lift the leg off a bed
he has also lost huge amount of weight without trying
the pain in his leg moves but pain is always there so it might be his knee, or his hip or the thigh
pain averages 7 to 10
what we want to know is will he ever regain any muscle back?
obviously that nerve is beyond repair will it die and the pain stop?
if the nerve dies will he then have a totally useless leg?
I have for the last 3 weeks had his BG under control with diet and they aren't ever going above 7 at all now which is better than his average of 23
can someone explain the pain is it normal that it moves?
is it normal that even though his socks are loose he feels they are tight
is it normal to feel really intense pain even from a gentle touch
is it normal that his leg and foot feel cold to touch
is it normal for him to fall so frequently?
will any of this get better ?
