They told me mine was idiopathic. Yeah that's a lot of help. Hey lady you're just going to be in pain, a lot of pain. We don't know why and we don't even care
I have it in one leg only, following a wrong ayurvedic medicine. I was told its called sacral plexopathy. Recently even the other leg got similar symptms in a light way--I think you term it correctly a systemic thing. My neurologist is just insisting on Pregabalin. He suggested Alpha Lipoic Acid but he is against any B6, 9 or 12, specifically Benfotiamine, Methylcobalamin, P-5-P, folate, etc. He says if I want to take Vit.B, I should take brand called Liplac. But I just want to know if there is any entrapment nerve, or is it due to pre-diabees.
I'm sorry to hear that. If you wanted my diagnostic workup to see if it is due to a nerve entrapment, then I would need to see you in my office in Arizona. You can learn more about my clinic here - regenerativeperformance.com
Exactly why? Nerve conduction test next week. Process of elimination but I’ve arthritis severe lower back and 2 disc bulges who knows?. I did think vaxx as happened after 3rd booster
Its terrific when vax, chemically índuced by benzodiazepines and their poorly called as withdrawal syndromes, Ciprofloxacin, as diffrently from MS, you cant prove, you're not taken serious, you're not elegible for immunotherapies covered by insurance, you're not able to get compassionate treatment, ends up as - who told you to get the vaccine? Who told you to take this prescription? You were prescribed, but who told you to ingest? That resumes It, you're for yourself, not even trying these marvelous and likely helpfull immunotherapies for you. In my case, i was made dependant of benzodiazepines against will, Its like, why you didnt protected yourself and ended up in jail instead. You would bê in jail, but without suffering from wide spread and terrific nerve injuries. What's worst? Jail is nothing in comparsion.
Dr. Timmermans, I have tingling in my entire body, along with muscle twitches. I received an EMG along with MRI of the entire spine and nothing showed up. Have you encountered something like this before?
We have had similar cases yes (no two patients are identical). Recently we've been exploring bilateral vagus nerve hydrodissection with dextrose to help thee body wide symptoms
Dealing with diabetic neuropathy was exhausting, but Planet Ayurveda's Punarnava Capsules has made a noticeable difference. I’m very happy with the results and thankful for this remedy.
To anyone suffering with this pain GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR. My sister suffered the worst pain of her life when the pandemic started. We suspect it started because of the vaccine we took. The pain in her feet kept her awake at night, every night. Even if she managed to sleep (which wasn't much) she was still in pain. Her pain would travel with her whenever she drifted off. It only got better when she started going to a chiropractor.
Real severe pain in both legs using 120mg oxycontin per day nothing helps.. Knees and ankles are the worst this is going on for months now and no doctor can help me costing me thousands.. Wish someone can help me with this im suicidal the pain is just to much to handle
@@DrewTimmermansNDidiopathic omg still no answers, doc did think B6 however skeptical since still there frustrated 110 was B6 now 100 .. if B6 how long take. . Neurologist said MRI ok back mmm.
Iikely yes, It seems that herpes can cause neuropathy and nerve damages not only peripherally but in cranial and nerve roots at the spine, also degenerate intravertebral discs, and herniate the disks. ,
I had a really bad injury back in September that caused neuropathy in both my feel and legs up to my knees, as well as my left hand up to my elbow. It took about 3 1/2 months to get feeling back. The doctors had no way of knowing if I'd ever get full feeling back, all I could do was practice daily, and do everything I could to help it. At 29 years old, that was horrifying, especially being an active person who's got no family to help. I now go out of my way to find people who are going thru that, because that fear was close to unbearable. Never loose hope, because you will get thru it. I know it's scary, but we all have that warrior mentality deep down. ❤️🩹🙏🏻💪🏻
I’ve had peripheral neuropathy for the past 19 years. It has gotten worse and worse with every passing year. I’m 59 now and the INTENSE pain is constant and unbearable….and very close to unlivable. They’ve never figured out the cause so it’s called idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. However, just this past week, an orthopedic doctor told after looking at my legs told me I have vascular disease aka peripheral artery disease…..which I looked up and found out that PAD (vascular disease) can cause pain and peripheral neuropathy. I think I know know what caused my PN….early stage PAD. I’ve also been suffering from extended long lasting bouts of vertigo from time to time….with cause unknown. But now I’ve discovered that PAD can also cause vertigo!!! I think I need to get to a heart doctor SOON. However, going anywhere increases the neuropathy pain even more….to an unimaginable level. Now I’m thinking I could be headed for a stroke or heart attack. Nil very worried.
Have you considered another approach? Since no doctor has been able to treat my neuropathy (I've been given 4 different diagnoses) I came to the conclusion that it was probably mind body related. Ever hear about tension myositis syndrome? Check out Dr Sarno's work
It's hard, it took me months of begging for help and being in unbearable pain, losing the ability to walk... these doctors won't run tests unless you beg them. You just gotta find the right one unfortunately.
@@nancysfarmacy my feet, legs and left hand now are more numb after it was seemingly slowly getting better. Gonna see if I can get any luck with the doctor again
Yes deficiency & what you are eating. I find eating carbohydrates like pastas /bread /potatoes /rice /cakes, etc. make my left knee, foot ankle hurt so much after I walk for .20 minutes I need 4 ibuprofens to be able to try & numb the pain. Soak my feet & apply pain relieving cream. Weekend, I don’t go out I elevate my legs take two ibuprofen and light eating no breads anything that I think will bring the pain, I try to avoid. And it helps for those days am not working & eat the things that don’t bring on pain.
I pray things get better for you. I experienced full on neuropathy for 3 1/2 months after a brutal injury. Both my feet up to my knees, and my left hand up to my elbow were fully numb. With smart decisions and practice, I was able to get almost full feeling back in each limb. I will keep you in my prayers tonight, and please never give up. You're a warrior. ❤️🩹
@@the_city_gent2856 magnesium. And lots of it. It's the most important part. And Epsom salt baths. I would just full the tub half way and load bitch with Epsom salt and put my feet in for a good 20 minutes or so. It's a very slow healing process, and for someone with anexity, it can be unbearable somdays, but it will be ok. Drink tons of water, eat as healthy as possible, and take your magnesium religiously.

I was told mine is idiopathic as well. Please approach this from a calm state of mind. You seem to be scaring yourself, which googling often doea. It seems that you have a good head for what is going on. If it's cardiovascular you need to stay calm. And yes please see a cardiologist as soon as possible. If you're in St Louis like me it could be months so please get on that. I wish you well and may you find the healing you deserve. And don't just accept what the doctor says always questioned it. Much love! 🙏💜🙏
I know exactly what you feel I am going through the same thing and it is unbearable as ive been on gabapentin for years now tramadol, I have PAD CVD and Peripheral Artery Diesease, it just doesnt stop and the swelling in feet and lower legs now fingers, is making life more difficult to deal with
Is this neuropathy? My feet feel cold this last month when I try to sleep. Two of the times here this month it’s been so bad I can’t sleep. Tonight it’s getting like that. I’m trying to find the patterns. I wonder if it could be related to the fact that my left leg is hairless on the left side. Doctors say some people just lose hair and it’s random and nothing to worry about. Now a few years later this foot thing is happening… it used to happen a few years ago in rare circumstances, but even then the doctors just said sometimes people get cold feet. Now that it’s so bad I can’t sleep, I’m feeling resentful of those doctors for not listening to me.
I'm sorry to hear they weren't listening to you. That doesn't sound like neuropathy, but that could be a sign of reduced blood flow. I would look into seeing a naturopathic doctor. You can learn more here - naturopathic.org/
@@DrewTimmermansND Also note, when touching my feet, they don’t feel cold to the touch. And socks does not remedy the issue. They also feel kinda burning as if I had been running barefoot on concrete or I had snow in my shoe outside for 30 min and now I’m inside trying to thaw it out. That type of burning
I’ve got it bad too for the 7 years, the doctors put me through the ringer and give me Gabapentin, to hydrocodone! I cant sleep, Dr wont prescribe anything to help with that! Im so fed up, this is no way to live! Im right there at the edge

Both my feet have been "numb feeling" and very sensitive to ANY small things when walking bare footed in the yard...quit carbs sugar and alcohol to help liver and looking to reduce it and find out what really drives it. Regular Dr's give no guidance whatsoever. Thanks for the great message!
All plants have built in poisons. T we n you get the pesticide poisons. Carnivore diet, grass fed is how our ancestors ate and did not have metabolic diseases. Carnivore diet worked for me. No plants. No coffee, tea, nothing. It works but it sucks.
Developed neuropathy in each leg agter esch knee replacement. One is 11 years old . The other one is 2 years old. Pisses me off. Surgicsl damage im sure.
I don't claim to be a doctor, but given my most recent experience with a friend of mine (who I had to take to the ER), I'd say one of the primary causes is long-term and heavy abuse of alcohol (which on it's own prevents the absorption of vitamin B). He's been in the hospital the last few days and has made little progress in regaining his mobility and functionality in his legs. To make a long story short, he stayed the night at my place, and I woke up to him struggling to get to his feet covered in his own feces in my bathroom. It's called alcoholic neuropathy, and it's highly unlikely that this is caused by any other reason than alcohol abuse, which he has struggled with for many years.
@ElisabethDonati If your legs aren't completely paralyzed and don't shit all over yourself because you've lost lower bodily functions, then my post CLEARLY isn't directed at you.
I wasnt vaxed..but had triple bypass...they gave me blood products...my dr says its not the same as a blood transfusion...i pray not..hope he's correct. Recently my ankles and feet feel hot...lil numb...and im fatigued. Ugh
I go to for dr Oct 3. They better not try to appease me by giving me seizure meds. I am a health 52 year old. I take no meds. Labs look great. Electric zapper test they did on my legs was fine. Idk...
Current med: lyrica, tramadol, baclofen, carvedilol Meloxicam, memantine,vitamin b complex, magnesium and capsaicin cream. This pain is worse than child birth. I can say ive improved, i was unable to walk for almost 3 months at that time i only felt pain, like i didnt think id b able to bear it any more. My mobility is still limited , still not able to walk up and down steps so i slide down and crawl up. I just got my 2nd emg done, from august having 5 unresponsive nerves to march i hv 1 out of 5 thats responsive. This is do frustrating , my left side is numb from tge waist to the toes and the right is all below tge knee
I'm terribly sorry to hear this. If you are open to exploring working with us to get to the root cause, you can schedule a free call with me here - regenerativeperformance.com/contact. We will talk through your case and I will let you know if I think we can help or not. If you are a candidate, then you would need to travel out to AZ (if you're not already here) to work directly with us. Our approaches are not covered by insurance, which is part of the reason that we can spend the time to get to the root cause. Often times insurance gets in the way of true healing.
@@DrewTimmermansND I completely understand. Unfortunately due to this, I lost my job and if course applied for disability back in August 2023 and seems they don't consider this condition serious enough to prevent me from working. Ignoring the fact I'm in constant pain, feet has bare minimum feeling , loss of muscle control, unable to drive , it's horrible. Like who r these people?Talk about a catch 22.
My 98 yr old mother was just given this cream for her neuropathy. She tried taking Gabapentin, but could not tolerate it. Terrible side effects. Have you experienced any side effects using this cream ?
@@nancyreber8201 no I didn't notice any side effects? May I ask what dude effects ya mom has had. Also my son has a medical marijuana card and bought me some cream and it helped just the same as the capsaicin cream
Yes! This helps tremendously!! I do castor oil/cayanne pepper packs on feet and hands. It’s not a permanent fix, but gives tons of relief for numbness. I just started, so maybe long term it will help even more. Follow Dr. Barbara O’niell, not sure if spelling, but she is amazing at natural health remedies.
I have neuropathy throughout the body . Happened after taking a flouroquinolone in 2020 . Never pain just weird sensations, numbing , loss of reflexes things of that nature. I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy from a TM Flow test. However my B6 has came out low on a lab test and B12 is normal but within the lower normal range . I've heard to stay away from B6 though as it can make neuropathy worse . But with it low wth do I do ??
How do you find out why? I was healthy up to a month ago, and them boom. I got numb feet and what feels like heavy legs from the knees down… 46 year old active male
By working with a good naturopathic/functional/integrative doctor to find the root cause. There are too many potential reasons and it requires a thorough workup (more extensive than what you have likely received so far)
My wife has been told she probably has neuropathy. Her mother has been diagnosed with it. And the only thing she can do for it is to stop smoking. I'm not accepting that answer. Yes she needs to quit smoking but how do we find out if she truly has neuropathy and what is causing it.
Go to a neurologist, and they’ll order you an EMG test Laying on the table and they should electrical signals up and down your legs and they can see which ones are firing and which ones are not. Then they may need to take a skin biopsy. Good luck.
I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel that spread all the way to my arms and neck. ... I live in El paso Texas and one year later it's back .. I feel like it never left.. unfortunately I don't have money to go to the doctor and employers don't want to hire me because I'm a reliability. I'm stuck in the middle. I also stoped taking my meds for my bipolar and I'm unable to get a job as a behavioral technician because they asked me to get back on my medication... but how can I without making money? I'm so close to giving up on this world. I grew up in a cult and escaped when I was 17. I'm 24 now... yet I have so much to learn.... if anyone can help... I have doctor's notes and everything. Thank you
I'm so sorry to hear that you're suffering. My brother who just passed away from suicide what's also bipolar, and like me was having some neuropathy problems that resulted in Falls and pain. Please contact your county and ask about help. My brother lived in Jefferson County and I know St Louis County both offer help far people who are in need. He went to a place called Comtrea. I'm sure it's called something different where you are. But every County usually has some type of help for people who are disabled for people who have mental illness or other types of disabling illnesses. They will help you. You can also go to a Catholic or charitable Hospital. We have a couple here in St Louis that are charitable and can't turn you down far care even if you don't have money. But I'm asking you to please don't give up. My brother went out a horrible way and I can't tell you how much pain is just left everyone. I know he was in pain tremendous suffering even torture. But he could get better after each episode. Better days were soon to come for him but he just wouldn't wait. Please don't cause those around you that love you to feel the pain I feel because you felt at your young age that you couldn't cope anymore. I understand pain I have several problems that are pain causes. I understand pain all too well. Inasmuch as I often think the answer would be moving on I could never hurt those that love me. I'm not joking please get help. It's out there if you want it. You're obviously tech-savvy enough to use RU-vid you could do some searching. Life is wonderful even if you're disabled but you can't give up. I'm sending you much love and I'll be praying for you. Just please remember you're much too young to make any major decisions like that. Mentally you're not really even done cooking yet so to speak. There's nothing worse than a young person that waste their life. Much of it has to do with how we think. Try looking up Joe dispenza. My best to you!! 🙏💜🙏
Lupus. Came & went with flares for years. Then, last time it didn't go away & varies from being balls of feet, whole foot, to one time going all the way to mid hips with severe pain. Keepin' on with improving diet & exercise.
I had 49 chemotherapy and maybe more in the future. My feet are very painful and oversensitive and cant feel much under the feet. How can i get it better?
I woke up from the coma that i was in for 2 weeks having 5 operations with neuropathy. The pain is unbelievable, never had a pain like that in my life.
Thanks, I was running and doing all sort of sport activities and suddenly my right leg become weak(like 20% weaker then left). I went to have MRI and bloodtest for all kind of things to see if there is any deficiency, as they find nothing. It was in 2014 and its still the same no matter what I do. I tried literally anything you can imagine(mobility, nerve gliding, strenght training etc). Its been really frustrating. I also had a foot drop when i was younger that i managed to get rid using electricity stimulation. Im healthy male, 27 years old with 68kg 178cm height. Im carefull what I eat. It is not easy to find a root of problem sometimes.
I have neurosarcoidosis and take several meds, as my cranial nerves and peripheral nerves have taken quite a hit. I was recently placed on Nortriptyline at night for my headaches, poor sleep and restless legs caused by small fibre myopathy. It’s been a game changer as my legs are calmed enough to sleep. My other meds (methotrexate, Epilim, Pristiq, etc help with facial nerve pain, but they come with lots of side effects, so there’s always some compromise.
