Medical Forum / General / General / December 2004Neuropathy?
I have a friend with neuropathy, it doesn't appear to be any of the usual suspects (diabetes, etc.), he has been to a number of doctors. The neuropathy has come slowly over 30 years starting in his late 30s. It only appears to significantly effect sensation in the feet, and possibly lower legs. Can anyone suggest any conditions consistent with this that might be responsible? Are there any treatments that should be tried even with an unknown cause? --- "I need to find a sage!" "Why?"

EMS is a well proven treatment for neuropathic pain. Pain clinics use this sort of technology. > > Are there any treatments that should be tried even with > > an unknown cause?

The cause can generally be determined by a set of studies. I would recommend consulting a good academic-type neurologist, probably at a major medical school. Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M. D.
