So my doctor finally told me some of my pain in my arm is neuropathy. I've heard about this before because its a complication of my mum and brothers condition, so it's not new to me. But it does reinforce the idea that my nerve was damaged in my op =( He is doing his best to rush my referral which I'm thankful for.

Hi Vampress, I have periphal neuropathy in both my arms, hands an legs an feet. It is horrific pain at times. Mine wakes me up at times during the night due to the temperature fluctuating all the time. When they get to hot i wake up like im having a anxiety attack. Have to take a pain pill in order to get rid of it. I have a Spinal Cord Stimulator in my back to control the pain from the waist down from the neuropathy, I need one to control it in my arms an hands. Only thing nothing can help with the temperature not being normal ..

Hi SassyZee

Did you get the spinal cord stimulator done on the nhs? Are you with a pain clinic and did they refer you for it?

I have neuropathy in both my feet and hands, and yes, the pain is horrendous! I asked the doc at my pain clinic if I could get a nerve block for it, but she said it wouldn't help with the neuropathy, even though I told her I had read of others being offered it for neuropathy. But I had never heard of anyone getting a spinal cord stimulator for it.

Hi Flamey49, my foot dr referred me to the neurosurgeon who was doing them. I made appointment an from their on I've been pain free from the neuropathy in my feet and legs since getting the SPS. I was in a wheelchair before but I walked out on my own two feet that day. Go to the Boston scientific website and they should be able too help you find a Dr in your area.

Oh, you are in the US? Sorry, I thought you were in UK. That's probably why you got the SPS for the neuropathy then, but it's amazing that it worked! I doubt I would be offered it on the NHS though, but nevertheless I will ask about it next time I am at my pain clinic.

Hi Flamey49, never hurts to ask all they can do is say no, but take it one step further and ask if he knows of some body who might be able to get you check out to see if it would help you. Just incase yours doesn't do the SCS implants.

Hi SassyZee, yes if they don't do it I will ask if they can refer me to someone who does the SCS implants. Fingers crossed I can get them, it would be so good to be pain free in just my feet alone!

Thank you hun :)

Hello lets call me pm for now...Do not know how long ill be able to communicate...may have to bug out alone soon. I have found prep aussie on you tube no hes not crazy he tells the truth.also contact natopath@lightcentre.com.au. a 20 yr old shouldnt have the problems she had after her issues. American medicine us far more advanced... the older internal stim units had wires that would break medtronic sucks, and until they comeout with a better one i dont advise it. However i trust my pain doctor with 40 yrs experience, prep aussie, and one other doctor the rest are either evil self seeking liars or dont k ow what yheyre doing which truly frightens me... lets just say i have pain. Ever heard of radiation poisioning, solar flares, haarp and sam 400 or s 500? Ever heard of the new world order? Its all true. Since ive been consuming naturals with protien and collagen powder or supplents daily vitamins and ionic trace minerals potassium and iodine drops every morning an eccentric coated aspirin low dose is best 81mg with purified electroyte water only!!! A norco of 10mghydrocodone/325mg acetametophin, a bath and consumption of mineral manna o raw earth silica as debbie recommends on body mind and spirit off prep aussies sight tizanidine and clonazepam are good for muscle relaxation calming my mind and muscles, but theres always ice on the feet, voltarin prescription gel or diclofenac sodium topical gel 1%, awesome stuff for feet burning and leg pain keep covered as much as possibke and in darker indoor rooms during intense sunny days, always wear strong uv and ubv sunglasses, its not about frames or how they look ladies just strong and dark!!!! Get to a natopath and pain dr a good one with yrs of experience, because if ur on benefits they will end across the world. I am a simple chritian woman trying to help others thru what i experience daily, our bodies are going thru some sudden changes include your pets in this start growing all types of ur own food pay utilities rent smartphones and cable tv, and get off credit card use or payments to banks. Collect gold and silver and utilty shares if wealthy if not get gold and silver coins in a liberty safe!!! watch skynet if u can stand it or bbc international worldnews online in ams and pms. If they say u need surgery go elsewhere for ut uf u can afford to. Get on private insurance and pray.... you ever watch survivor or naked and afraid? Were headed there. Pm out gid bless u all
