Since Peripheral neuropathy affects people of so many ages, physical conditions, and other variables, it can often be confusing to find consistent information. Changes in medical research resulting in outdated data, "best guesses" on the parts of sufferers and medical practitioners being reproduced as facts, and just plain likely-sounding rumors all contribute to a host of very basic misinformation about this condition. This week, we will be taking a look at some of the most common rumors we've found, and will do our best to set the record straight! Isn't neuropathy only found in people with diabetes? No. While neuropathy is common in diabetic patients and is popularly associated with diabetes,it affects chemotherapy recipients, those suffering from injuries or illness, people who have lost limbs, even sufferers of common minor ailments such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). If you feel pain, even if you're not diabetic, this could be the cause. Neuropathy is a natural result of aging, right? As people get older, they just start to hurt! Not necessarily. Pain and tingling is more common among seniors, but it affects people of all ages. Just because you're getting older doesn't mean it is a fact of life, either. Because this can be caused by injuries, complications with medication, or metabolic issues (among dozens of other causes), taking the right steps early can keep you from suffering many neuropathic symptoms as you get older. I have friends with peripheral neuropathy, and my pain isn't anything like theirs. I must have something else! Often, this can present itself as tingling, sharp pains, numbness, loss of motor control, and even very dangerous complications in organ function. The term describes many different sensations of pain in various areas on the body, so cases can vary wildly from person to person. Remember: if you believe you have symptoms, they are most easily treated early! See your clinician right away. There's no cure, so if I have neuropathy, I just have to learn to live with it.
Well, yes and no. Although most who suffer from nerve damage and neuropathic pain will have to live with some adjustments to their lifestyle and maybe some discomfort (there is, to date, no overall cure), many neuropathy patients can keep their symptoms from getting worse and, in most cases, even reverse the symptoms. A combination proper neurostimulation both at home and in the clinic along with the other factors your clinician sees fit can help ensure that you'll live a much better life. Whatever you do, don't go untreated! This website I found says they can "cure" my neuropathy! Be careful! Even though there are some well-meaning, informed, and helpful websites who will try to exploit your pain and cash in on your desire to be neuropathy-free. Be especially wary of any claims of a cure-no actual cure for peripheral neuropathy is known to exist, so any claims to that effect are insincere. Where treatments are concerned, remember that it is almost impossible for a proper treatment plan to be developed without examining you, the patient. Any products or treatments claiming to help without even knowing your specific symptoms are most likely ineffective at best, and could be dangerous. Consult a clinician before beginning any treatment program. Avoiding some of these myths might seem like common sense, but it can be tricky to sort out the good advice from the fiction and hearsay. Above all, be sure your information is coming from a good source; don't believe everything you hear or read! Neuropathy Specialty clinicians are the only ones fully trained and educated in the facts about your condition and how to treat many forms of chronic pain.
