I have a couple of guestion. I don't know if anyone can answer them here but there isn't a section for neuropathy & RSD but I am hoping someone can help.
I was diagnosed many yrs ago with neuropathy in my left foot. I have never had any types of tests or blood work to prove this if any of these can be done to detect it. I was told I have just neuropathy not peripheral neuropathy. I was just asked what was going on with my foot and the Dr then said I had neuropathy after I told him my symptoms.
I also was diagnosed with RSD many yrs ago in this same foot. Again no tests or blood work were ever done to come to this conclusion if it is possiable to detect through those two things.
The only medicine I am taking is Ms Contin....45 mg twice a day and it really does nothing for any of my pain which at times is unbearable. Is this something that would be given to treat both neuropathy & RSD?? I also have many symptoms of RA & Fibro. I am going to try at get a referral to a rheumatologist the next time I see my Dr who is just a regular MD Dr. He is the one who told me I have neuropathy and RSD in my left foot and put me on Ms Contin.
If anyone is interested in reading my whole very long story it is under " New here and I don't know whats wrong with me" its been read a whole lot but has had only 2 replies which is ok lol, but if you haven't read it you might want to, to understand my entire story, don't feel you have to read it!!
I have been doing a lot of reading on the internet about RDS, neuropathy, RA and Fibro but just want to hear human thoughts on my questions.
Thanks
