WOW!!!
New Neuropathy Patient today- Leg pain and many other sensations too numerous to mention here- Years- since injury of Low Back- just one of many causes of Peripheral Neuropathy.
PERIPHERAL MEANS AWAY FROM CENTER- Can be arms or legs.
NEUROPATHY MEANS NERVE SYMPTOMS- Can be Numbness, Tingling, Pain, Inflammation or Swelling or many other symptoms.
This 53 yo female hurt her low back years ago. When I asked what had changed in her life she said ‘Everything’ with tears in her eyes- going on to tell me she couldn’t ‘play with’ her 6 year old Granddaughter!!! She described many other things- working only 2-3 days a week because of her inability to stand being on her feet more- was the biggie!!! She told of how she lives from ‘doctor to doctor’!!!
Our Neuropathy testing results included- Neuropathy Screen- 6 of 15; balance testing 6 L & R Eyes open and 2 R & L with Eyes closed; Specific Neuropathy Testing- R- 55 of 74 and L- 29 of 74- which indicated mild Neuropathy Right and Severe on Left. Her Upper & Lower Nervous Systems were not working properly.
I treated her after we finished all preliminary paperwork- We also did the very Specialized therapies that go with beginning Neuropathy. She left a happy camper!!!
